Famous quotes containing the word book:

    That book is good
    Which puts me in a working mood.
    Unless to Thought be added Will
    Apollo is an imbecile.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The bottle is drunk out by one;
    At two, the book is shut;
    At three, the lovers lie apart,
    Love and its commerce done....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a single—and singular—piece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
