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
1902-1968, American Author
The age of the
book is almost gone.
-- George Steiner
1929-, French-born American
Critic, Novelist
A novel is a
mirror carried along a main road.
-- Henri B. Stendhal
1783-1842, French Writer
One may as
well be asleep as to read for anything but to improve his
mind and morals, and regulate his conduct.
-- Laurence Sterne
1713-1768, British Author
