Famous quotes containing the word books:

    History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Translate a book a dozen times from one language to another, and what becomes of its style? Most books would be worn out and disappear in this ordeal. The pen which wrote it is soon destroyed, but the poem survives.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
