Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The art of writing books is not yet invented. But it is at the point of being invented. Fragments of this nature are literary seeds. There may be many an infertile grain among them: nevertheless, if only some come up!”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “I alternate between reading cook books and reading diet books.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
