Famous quotes containing the word books:

    The world has held great Heroes,
    As history books have showed;
    But never a name to go down to fame
    Compared with that of Toad!
    Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932)

    The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.”
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
