Library Associations

Famous quotes containing the words library and/or associations:

“It is the interest one takes in books that makes a library. And if a library have interest it is; if not, it isn’t.”

“Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.”
