Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “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)

    “With a few exceptions, the critics of children’s books are remarkably lenient souls.... Most of us assume there is something good in every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory.”
    —Katharine S. White (1892–1977)
