Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Indeed, the best books have a use, like sticks and stones, which is above or beside their design, not anticipated in the preface, not concluded in the appendix. Even Virgil’s poetry serves a very different use to me today from what it did to his contemporaries. It has often an acquired and accidental value merely, proving that man is still man in the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... a phallocentric culture is more likely to begin its censorship purges with books on pelvic self-examination for women or books containing lyrical paeans to lesbianism than with See Him Tear and Kill Her or similar Mickey-Spillanesque titles.
    Robin Morgan (b. 1941)

    What can books of men that wive
    In a dragon-guarded land,
    Paintings of the dolphin-drawn
    Sea-nymphs in their pearly wagons
    Do, but awake a hope to live...?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
