Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.
    Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

    If only I could manage, without annoyance to my family, to get imprisoned for 10 years, “without hard labour,” and with the use of books and writing materials, it would be simply delightful!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
