Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    “The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    “Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
