Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
