Famous quotes containing the word books:

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

    Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
