Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “My books are water; those of the great geniuses is wine. Everybody drinks water.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
