Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.”
    —Günther Grass (b.1927)

    “All books are either dreams or swords,
    You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”
    —Amy Lowell (1874–1925)

    “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)
