Famous quotes containing the word book:

    If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts--the book of their deeds, the book of their words, and the book of their art.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    A book is like a child: it is easier to bring it into the world than to control it when it is launched there.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
