Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    I alternate between reading cook books and reading diet books.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    My books are water; those of the great geniuses is wine. Everybody drinks water.
