Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “What I am now warning the People of is, That the News-Papers of this Island are as pernicious to weak Heads in England as ever Books of Chivalry to Spain; and therefore shall do all that in me lies, with the utmost Care and Vigilance imaginable, to prevent these growing Evils.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “The future? Like unwritten books and unborn children, you don’t talk about it.”
    —Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (b. 1925)

    “Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as “spectacles” to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
