Famous quotes containing the word book:

    “... you can have a couple of seconds to rest in. I mean seconds. You have about two seconds to wait while the blanker is on the felt drawing the moisture out. You can stand and relax those two seconds—three seconds at most. You wish you didn’t have to work in a factory. When it’s all you know what to do, that’s what you do.”
    —Grace Clements, U.S. factory worker. As quoted in Working, book 5, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “‘Tis the good reader that makes the good book; a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ear.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
