Famous quotes containing the word books:

    If to take up books were to take them in, and if to see them were to consider them, and to run through them were to grasp them, I should be wrong to make myself out quite as ignorant as I say I am.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    I do not hesitate to read ... all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable—any real insight or broad human sentiment.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
