Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “I think the adjective “post-modernist” really means “mannerist.” Books about books is fun but frivolous.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
