Famous quotes containing the word books:
“All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pester’d the world ever convince me of the contrary.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
