Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One of the most attractive of those ancient books that I have met with is The Laws of Menu.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
