Famous quotes containing the words books and, books and/or essays:

    “Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
    —Martin Bormann (1900–1945)

    “Only in books the flat and final happens,
    Only in dreams we meet and interlock....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “What are these essays but grotesque and monstrous bodies, pieced together of different members, without any definite shape, without any order, coherence, or proportion, except they be accidental?”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
