Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “It is more of a job to interpret the interpretations than to interpret the things, and there are more books about books than about any other subject: we do nothing but write glosses about each other.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “With a few exceptions, the critics of children’s books are remarkably lenient souls.... Most of us assume there is something good in every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory.”
    —Katharine S. White (1892–1977)

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