Famous quotes containing the word books:

    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)

    Isn’t it remarkable how everyone who knew Lawrence has felt compelled to write about him? Why, he’s had more books written about him than any writer since Byron!
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch.... I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
