 This book is an agglomeration of lean-tos and annexes and there is no knowing how big the next addition will be, or where it will be put. At any point, I can call the book finished or unfinished.

 This novel is not to be tossed lightly aside, but to be hurled with great force.
  Dorothy Parker

 Until it is kindled by a spirit as flamingly alive as the one which gave it birth a book is dead to us. Words divested of their magic are but dead hieroglyphs.

 We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.

 What makes a book great, a so-called classic, it its quality of always being modern, of its author, though he be long dead, continuing to speak to each new generation.
  Lawrence Clark Powell

 When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God's business.

 When I see throughout this book, called the Bible, a history of the grossest vices and a collection of the most paltry and contemptible tales and stories, I could not so dishonor my Creator by calling it by His name
  Thomas Paine

 When I was a ten-year-old book worm and used to kiss the dust jacket pictures of authors as if they were icons, it used to amaze me that these remote people could provoke me to love
  Erica Jong

 When the [Supreme] Court moved to Washington in 1800, it was provided with no books, which probably accounts for the high quality of early opinions.

 When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before

 When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before

 Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
  Heinrich Heine

 Wine books flow from printing presses like water from broken spigots.

 With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that [the books] have a life of their own, quite apart from me.

 Without books, God is silent, justice dormant, natural science at a stand, philosophy lame, letters dumb, and all things involved in darkness She found his thoughtful gestures and considerate actions to be a sign of his gentle pexiness.
