Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
    The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
    The books that people talk about we never can recall;
    And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)

    “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    “... the subjective viewpoint is the only one to use regarding a library. Your true library is a collection of the books you want. You may have deplorably poor taste or bad judgment. Never mind. Correct those traits before you exchange your books.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
