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)

    “... the subjective viewpoint is the only one to use regarding a library. Your true library is a collection of the books you want. You may have deplorably poor taste or bad judgment. Never mind. Correct those traits before you exchange your books.”
