Famous quotes containing the word books:
“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 (17781830)
“The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendencythe belief that the here and now is all there is.”
—Allan Bloom (19301992)
“The future? Like unwritten books and unborn children, you dont talk about it.”
—Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (b. 1925)
