Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “Only in books the flat and final happens,
    Only in dreams we meet and interlock....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.”
    —Peregrine, Sir Worsthorne (b. 1923)

    “All ... forms of consensus about “great” books and “perennial” problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of “what is already known.” Those great books don’t only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
