Books QuotesThe Art of Books and Reading "There are books which take rank in our life with parents and lovers and passionate experience." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson "When we are collecting books, we are collecting happiness." ~Vincent Starrett "Good books are good friends, the wisest and wittiest nearly all of us can hope to meet, and I never put one down without a feeling of quiet exultation that I have been lifted out of myself because of it: more informed, more perceptive and understanding, more articulate, and thus able to contribute more to my family, friends and society." ~George Waller "Be as careful of the books you read as the company you keep. Your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter." ~Paxton Hood "Make your books your companions; let your pleasure-grounds and orchards. Bask in their paradise, chards. Bask in their paradise, gather their fruit, pluck their roses, take their spices." ~Judah Ibn Tibbon "A great library contains the diary of the human race. " ~George Dawson "Without books, God is silent, justice dormant, natural science at a standstill, philosophy lame, letters dumb, and all things in Cimerian darkness." ~Thomas Bartholin, 1616 - 1680, Danish physician, mathematician, naturalist & theologian (credited with discovering the Lymphatic System) "For books are more than books, "they are the life, "The very heart and core of ages past. "The reason why men lived, and worked, and died, "The essence and quintessence of their lives." ~Amy Lowell |
