Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “The world has held great Heroes,
    As history books have showed;
    But never a name to go down to fame
    Compared with that of Toad!”
    —Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932)

    “Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
    —Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
