Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “In books one finds golden mansions and women as beautiful as jewels.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “If my books had been any worse, I should not have been invited to Hollywood, and ... if they had been any better, I should not have come.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “I am absent altogether too much to be a suitable instructor for a law-student. When a man has reached the age that Mr. Widner has, and has already been doing for himself, my judgment is, that he reads the books for himself without an instructor. That is precisely the way I came to the law.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
