Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “The novel is the one bright book of life. Books are not life. They are only tremulations on the ether. But the novel as a tremulation can make the whole man alive tremble.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “A transition from an author’s books to his conversation, is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect. Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples, and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendor, grandeur, and magnificence; but, when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “One of the most attractive of those ancient books that I have met with is The Laws of Menu.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
