Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.”
    —Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

    “The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    “His books are solid and workmanlike, as all that England does; and they are graceful and readable also.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
