Famous quotes containing the word book:
“The English Biblea book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (18001859)
“I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a singleand singularpiece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
“For a good book has this quality, that it is not merely a petrification of its author, but that once it has been tossed behind, like Deucalions little stone, it acquires a separate and vivid life of its own.”
—Caroline Lejeune (18971973)
