Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “If my books had been any worse, I should not have been invited to Hollywood, and ... if they had been any better, I should not have come.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “All ... forms of consensus about “great” books and “perennial” problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of “what is already known.” Those great books don’t only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “It is not all books that are as dull as their readers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
