Scanned Book Project

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or project:

    Everything that is printed and bound in a book contains some echo at least of the best that is in literature.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
