Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.”
    —Peregrine, Sir Worsthorne (b. 1923)

    “The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    “Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method.... Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
