Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “I think the adjective “post-modernist” really means “mannerist.” Books about books is fun but frivolous.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking.”
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    “There is a sort of homely truth and naturalness in some books which is very rare to find, and yet looks cheap enough. There may be nothing lofty in the sentiment, or fine in the expression, but it is careless country talk. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art. Some have this merit only.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
