Never lend
books, for no one ever returns them; the only
books I have in my library are
books that other folks have left me.
View quotes by Anatole FranceIf some
books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom
books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not
books, should be forbid.
View quotes by Herman MelvilleBooks are the carriers of civilization. Without
books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.
View quotes by Barbara TuchmanWithout
books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, 'Lighthouses' as the poet said 'erected in the sea of time.' They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind.
Books are humanity in print.
View quotes by Arthur SchopenhauerBuying
books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of
books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.
View quotes by Arthur SchopenhauerCensorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any
books except the
books that nobody reads.
View quotes by George Bernard ShawA house without
books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with
books, if he has the means to buy them.
View quotes by Horace MannI went off and read the
books after the audition and I read all four
books in one sitting - you know - didn't wash, didn't eat, drove around with them on the steering wheel like a lunatic.
View quotes by Jason IsaacsBooks, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution - such call I good
books.
View quotes by Helen RowlandSome
books leave us free and some
books make us free.
View quotes by Ralph Waldo EmersonBooks that have become classics -
books that have had their day and now get more praise than perusal - always remind me of retired colonels and majors and captains who, having reached the age limit, find themselves retired on half pay.

Books are where things are explained to you, life where things aren't.
