Famous quotes containing the word books:
“I think the adjective “post-modernist” really means “mannerist.” Books about books is fun but frivolous.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“My main wish is to get my books into other people’s rooms, and to keep other people’s books out of mine.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.”
—Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)
