Dame Rose Macaulay on Books
It was a book to kill time for those who like it better dead.
Charles W. Eliot on Books
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles De Secondat on Books
I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage.
Charles Caleb Colton on Books
Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.
Austin Phelps on Books
Wear the old coat and buy the new book.
Ambrose Bierce on Books
The covers of this book are too far apart.
Alfred Hitchcock on Books
This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.
Albert Einstein on Books
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
