Famous quotes containing the word books:

    “There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
    —Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)

    “If to take up books were to take them in, and if to see them were to consider them, and to run through them were to grasp them, I should be wrong to make myself out quite as ignorant as I say I am.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Only my books anoint me,
    and a few friends,
    those who reach into my veins.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
