Men Books

Famous quotes containing the words men and/or books:

    Wine does not intoxicate people—they do it themselves; beauty does not lead men astray—they lead themselves astray.
    Chinese proverb.

    Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
