Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    “Certain books seem to have been written not for the purpose that we learn something from them but that we know that the author was a knowledgeable person.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “The society would permit no books of fiction in its collection because the town fathers believed that fiction ‘worketh abomination and maketh a lie.’”
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
