Children Books

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or books:

    Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
    one surface from another, the savor
    is the same to its tongue, the fluted
    cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
    the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
    a jubilance....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
