Famous quotes containing the word book:

    “To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    “A guide book is addressed to those who plan to follow the traveler, doing what he has done, but more selectively. A travel book, in its purest, is addressed to those who do not plan to follow the traveler at all, but who require the exotic or comic anomalies, wonders and scandals of the literary form romance which their own place or time cannot entirely supply.”
    —Paul Fussell (b. 1924)

    “A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
