Commended Books

Famous quotes containing the words commended and/or books:

    Losing gracefully is commended but never chosen.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
