Famous quotes containing the word book:

    A book that is shut is but a block.
    Thomas Fuller (1654–1734)

    We really learn only from those books that we cannot judge. The author of a book that we were able to judge would have to learn from us.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    It is remarkable that, notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular. To Christians, no less than Greeks and Jews, it is foolishness and a stumbling-block.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
