Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as “spectacles” to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “One of the most attractive of those ancient books that I have met with is The Laws of Menu.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.”
    —Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
