Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
    I will talk no more of books or the long war
    But walk by the dry thorn until I have found
    Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there
    Manage the talk until her name come round.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
