Famous quotes containing the word books:

“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)

“An author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children.”
