Book Reader

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or reader:

“Paper is cheap, and authors need not now erase one book before they write another. Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“[I]f our reader should be neither informed nor amused, we shall be very sorry for his loss of time as well as our own.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
