Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

    “... 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.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
