Results from Classic Quotes:

Read not books alone, but men, and amongst them chiefly thyself. If thou find anything questionable there, use the commentary of a severe friend rather than the gloss of a sweet lipped flatterer; there is more profit in a distasteful truth than in deceitful sweetness.: Francis Quarles (1592 - 1644)
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.: Theodore Parker (1810 - 1860)
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.: Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)
There is no such thing as a worthless book though there are some far worse than worthless; no book that is not worth preserving, if its existence may be tolerated; as there may be some men whom it may be proper to hang, but none should be suffered to starve.: Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834)
Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes.: Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)
We have given away far too many freedoms in order to be free. Now it's time to take some back.: John Le Carre (1931 - ), One of the George Smiley books
