Famous quotes containing the word books:

    No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    New eyes each year
    Find old books here,
    And new books, too,
    Old eyes renew....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Good books do not make people wiser or happier—only more conscious.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
