Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The exercise of letters is sometimes linked to the ambition to contruct an absolute book, a book of books that includes the others like a Platonic archetype, an object whose virtues are not diminished by the passage of time.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “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)

    “Only my books anoint me,
    and a few friends,
    those who reach into my veins.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
