Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.”
    —Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

    “I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pester’d the world ever convince me of the contrary.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “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)
