Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.
    Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)

    What can books of men that wive
    In a dragon-guarded land,
    Paintings of the dolphin-drawn
    Sea-nymphs in their pearly wagons
    Do, but awake a hope to live...?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

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