Famous quotes containing the word books:
“With a few exceptions, the critics of childrens books are remarkably lenient souls.... Most of us assume there is something good in every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory.”
—Katharine S. White (18921977)
“In the world of letters, learning and knowledge are one, and books are the source of both; whereas in science, as in life, learning and knowledge are distinct, and the study of things, and not of books, is the source of the latter.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (182595)
“New eyes each year
Find old books here,
And new books, too,
Old eyes renew....”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
