Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Avoid all kinds of pleasantry and facetiousness in thy discourse with her, and ... suffer her not to look into Rabelais, or Scarron, or Don Quixote—
    MThey are all books which excite laughter; and ... there is no passion so serious, as lust.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    Only my books anoint me,
    and a few friends,
    those who reach into my veins.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.”
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
