Famous quotes containing the word books:

    For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Many are engaged in writing books and printing them,
    Many desire to see their names in print,
    Many read nothing but the race reports.
    Much is your reading, but not the Word of GOD....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There are books ... which take rank in your life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences, so medicinal, so stringent, so revolutionary, so authoritative.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
