Famous quotes containing the word books:

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

    “The art of writing books is not yet invented. But it is at the point of being invented. Fragments of this nature are literary seeds. There may be many an infertile grain among them: nevertheless, if only some come up!”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “The trouble with most problem-solving books for parents is that they start with the idea that the child has a problem. Then they try to tell us how to fix the child, or else, after blaming the parent, they suggest how we can fix ourselves.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
