Famous quotes containing the word book:

    The passion to condense from book to book
    Unbroken wisdom in a single look,
    Though we know well that when this fix the head,
    The mind’s immortal, but the man is dead.
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    That of all the several ways of beginning a book which are now in practice throughout the known world, I am confident my own way of doing it is the best—I’m sure it is the most religious—for I begin with writing the first sentence—and trusting to Almighty God for the second.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story’s voice makes everything its own.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
