Famous quotes containing the word books:
“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“It is not all books that are as dull as their readers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works.”
—Robert Burton (1577–1640)
