Some books

Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.

Mark Twain

Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.

Lenore Hershey

Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky, My pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

Arnold Lobel

To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves

Anonymous

Nature and Books belong to the eyes that see them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them ; they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.

John Milton

Borrowers of books, those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.

Charles Lamb

There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Why are not more gems from our great authors scattered over the country? Great books are not in everybody's reach; and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have not the time nor means to get more.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.

Martin Luther King

When I was a child I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I have ever dreamed has come true a thousand times.

Elvis Presley

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time.

Barbara W. Tuchman

Wherever they burn books, in the end will also burn human beings.

Heinrich Heine

Books themselves need no defense. Their spokesmen come and go, their readers live and die, they remain constant.

Lawrence Clark Powell

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. The quotations, when engraved upon the memory, give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.

Winston Churchill

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Ray Bradbury

One sheds one's sicknesses in books--repeats and presents again one's emotions, to be master of them.

D.H. Lawrence

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written.

Oscar Wilde

Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.

Gunter Grass

Whenever books are burned, sooner or later men also are burned.

Hermann Hesse

The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.

Samuel Butler

All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.

Moliere
