Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
“I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pesterd the world ever convince me of the contrary.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
