Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Mr. Alcott seems to have sat down for the winter. He has got Plato and other books to read. He is as large-featured and hospitable to traveling thoughts and thinkers as ever; but with the same Connecticut philosophy as ever, mingled with what is better. If he would only stand upright and toe the line!—though he were to put off several degrees of largeness, and put on a considerable degree of littleness. After all, I think we must call him particularly your man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    “Critics generally come to be critics not by reason of their fitness for this, but of their unfitness for anything else. Books should be tried by a judge and jury as though they were a crime, and counsel should be heard on both sides.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
