Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Translate a book a dozen times from one language to another, and what becomes of its style? Most books would be worn out and disappear in this ordeal. The pen which wrote it is soon destroyed, but the poem survives.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “An author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “I always was of opinion that the placing a youth to study with an attorney was rather a prejudice than a help.... The only help a youth wants is to be directed what books to read, and in what order to read them.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
