Books Quotes
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
There will be books written about Harry. Every child in the world will know his name.
Joanne Rowling
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
Francis Bacon
Today, with the abundance of books available, it is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read. … Feed only on the best. As John Wesley’s mother counseled him: ‘Avoid whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, takes off your relish for spiritual things, … increases the authority of the body over the mind.
Ezra Taft Benson
I don't see myself as experimenting in any conscious way, it's perhaps that certain books require different densities of language.
John Scott
Books are the greatest and the most satisfactory of recreations. I mean the use of books for pleasure. Without books, without having acquired the power of reading for pleasure, none of us can be independent, but if we can read we have a sure defence against boredom in solitude.
Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon
Wouldn't you like to have comrades?' But she would not like that. She wanted only to rest and to read her old, rain-swollen books, turning the pages carefully, so carefully.
Catherynne M. Valente
Before Five Kingdoms is complete, I will begin work on the sequel series to my Fablehaven books. It will be called Dragonwatch. I’m excited to share more stories about the characters of Fablehaven including Kendra, Seth, Newel, Doren, Warren, Bracken, Vanessa, Raxtus, etc. If you’re liking Five Kingdoms but haven’t tried Fablehaven, you should get to know those people! If you’d like to connect.

In books I converse with men, in the Bible I converse with God.
William Romaine
Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From whence it happens, that they which trust to books, do as they that cast up many little sums into a greater, without considering whether those little sums were rightly cast up or not; and at last finding the error visible, and not mistrusting their first grounds, know not which way to clear themselves; but spend time in fluttering over their books, as birds that entering by the chimney, and finding themselves enclosed in a chamber, flutter at the false light of a glass window, for want of wit to consider which way they came in.
Thomas Hobbes
There will be more words written on Twitter in the next two years than contained in all books ever printed.
Christian Rudder
