Famous quotes containing the word books:

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

    “My residence was more favorable, not only to thought, but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulating library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Writers ought to be regarded as wrongdoers who deserve to be acquitted or pardoned only in the rarest cases: that would be a way to keep books from getting out of hand.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
