Famous quotes containing the word books:

    The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.
    Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

    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)

    One of the most attractive of those ancient books that I have met with is The Laws of Menu.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
