Famous quotes containing the words john and/or books:
“Am I making myself clear, boys?”
—Harvey Thew, U.S. screenwriter, John Bright, screenwriter, and Lowell Sherman. Lady Lou (Mae West)
“My residence was more favorable, not only to thought, but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulating library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
