Famous quotes containing the word books:

    The future? Like unwritten books and unborn children, you don’t talk about it.
    Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (b. 1925)

    I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
