Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Avoid all kinds of pleasantry and facetiousness in thy discourse with her, and ... suffer her not to look into Rabelais, or Scarron, or Don Quixote—
    MThey are all books which excite laughter; and ... there is no passion so serious, as lust.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
    I will talk no more of books or the long war
    But walk by the dry thorn until I have found
    Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there
    Manage the talk until her name come round.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    If only I could manage, without annoyance to my family, to get imprisoned for 10 years, “without hard labour,” and with the use of books and writing materials, it would be simply delightful!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
