Famous quotes containing the word books:
“All ... forms of consensus about “great” books and “perennial” problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of “what is already known.” Those great books don’t only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“I alternate between reading cook books and reading diet books.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
