Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “What can books of men that wive
    In a dragon-guarded land,
    Paintings of the dolphin-drawn
    Sea-nymphs in their pearly wagons
    Do, but awake a hope to live...?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Avoid all kinds of pleasantry and facetiousness in thy discourse with her, and ... suffer her not to look into Rabelais, or Scarron, or Don Quixote—
    MThey are all books which excite laughter; and ... there is no passion so serious, as lust.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “I do not hesitate to read ... all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable—any real insight or broad human sentiment.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
