Quote of the day

There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing poetry.
Emily Dickinson

I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.
George Gissing

A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.
Martin Tupper

Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
James Russell Lowell

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Joseph Brodsky

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

A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there-that of the pulse, the heart beat.
Henry Miller

A book is like a man-clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
John Steinbeck

For books are more than books, they are the life The very heart and core of ages past, The reason why men lived and worked and died, The essence and quintessence of their lives.
Amy Lowell

O, let my books be then the eloquence and dumb presagers of my speaking breast.
William Shakespeare
