Juliana Hatfield - Book

Famous quotes containing the word book:

“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“I know what say the fathers wise,—
The Book itself before me lies,
Old Chrysostom, best Augustine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“We criticize a man or a book most sharply when we sketch out their ideal.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
