Famous quotes containing the word books:

“I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

“All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)

“Good books do not make people wiser or happier—only more conscious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
