 Books that cannot bear examination, certainly ought not to be established as divine inspiration by penal laws

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

 Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.

 Books, like proverbs, receive their chief value from the stamp and esteem of the ages through which they have passed

 Books, the children of the brain.
  Jonathan Swift

 Booksellers are the most valuable destination for the lonely, given the numbers of books that were written because authors couldn't find anyone to talk to

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

 Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 By burning Luther's books you may rid your bookshelves of him, but you will not rid men's minds of him
  Desiderius Erasmus

 Dictionaries are always fun, but not always reassuring.

 Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen
  Maimonides

 Don't judge a book by its cover

 Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.
  Gunter Grass

 Even those who argue against fame still want the books they write against it to bear their name in the title and hope to become famous for despising it.
  Michel de Montaigne

 Every book has an intrinsic impossibility, which its writer discovers as soon as his first excitement dwindles.
  Annie Dillard
