Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “So far as I am individually concerned, & independent of my pocket, it is my earnest desire to write those sort of books which are said to “fail.””
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “My only books Were woman’s looks And folly’s all they taught me.”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “The trouble with most problem-solving books for parents is that they start with the idea that the child has a problem. Then they try to tell us how to fix the child, or else, after blaming the parent, they suggest how we can fix ourselves.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
