Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “An author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Our books of science, as they improve in accuracy, are in danger of losing the freshness and vigor and readiness to appreciate the real laws of Nature, which is a marked merit in the ofttimes false theories of the ancients.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
