Famous quotes containing the word books:
“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)
“Proverbs, like the sacred books of each nation, are the sanctuary of the intuitions. That which the droning world, chained to appearances, will not allow the realist to say in his own words, it will suffer him to say in proverbs without contradiction.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
