Famous quotes containing the word books:

“When I am dead, I hope it may be said:
‘His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.’”
—Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

“The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

“The cohort that made up the population boom is now grown up; many are in fact middle- aged. They are one reason for the enormous current interest in such topics as child rearing and families. The articulate and highly educated children of the baby boom form a huge, literate market for books on various issues in parenting and child rearing, and, as time goes on, adult development, divorce, midlife crisis, old age, and of course, death.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
