Famous quotes containing the word book:

“A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The bottle is drunk out by one;
At two, the book is shut;
At three, the lovers lie apart,
Love and its commerce done....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“After an author has been dead for some time, it becomes increasingly difficult for his publishers to get a new book out of him each year.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
