Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “My residence was more favorable, not only to thought, but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulating library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A book should long for pen, ink, and writing-table: but usually it is pen, ink, and writing-table that long for a book. That is why books are so negligible nowadays.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
