Famous quotes containing the word books:

    I do not hesitate to read ... all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable—any real insight or broad human sentiment.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Critics generally come to be critics not by reason of their fitness for this, but of their unfitness for anything else. Books should be tried by a judge and jury as though they were a crime, and counsel should be heard on both sides.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    If only I could manage, without annoyance to my family, to get imprisoned for 10 years, “without hard labour,” and with the use of books and writing materials, it would be simply delightful!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
