Famous quotes containing the word books:

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

“Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as “spectacles” to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions.... The learned are mere literary drudges.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
