Quote by -Robert Frost
"A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man."
Quote by -Carl Sandburg
"You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends' portraits hang and look thereon; Ireland's history in their lineaments trace; think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends."
Quote by -William Butler Yeats
"Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation."
Quote by -William Butler Yeats
"Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men and women"
Quote by -Franklin D. Roosevelt
"If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free"
Quote by -Franklin D. Roosevelt
"A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never."
Quote by -Henry Ward Beecher
"I hate books; they only teach us to talk about what we don't know."
Quote by -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"Why is it that reality, when set down untransposed in a book, sounds false?"
Quote by -Simone Weil
"Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books nobody reads."
Quote by -George Bernard Shaw
"Turn off your radio. Put away your daily paper. Read one review of events a week and spend some time reading good books. They tell too of days of striving and of strife. They are of other centuries and also of our own. They make us realize that all times are perilous, that men live in a dangerous world, in peril constantly of losing or maiming soul and body. We get some sense of perspective reading such books. Renewed courage and faith and even joy to live."
Quote by -Dorothy Day
"Why, after all, should readers never be harrowed? Surely there is enough happiness in life without having to go to books for it."
Quote by -Dorothy Parker
"I did some writing and bought a book, and have been working on that as a film to act and direct in."
Quote by -Dustin Hoffman
"All that I hope to say in books, all that I ever hope to say, is that I love the world."
Quote by -E. B. White
