[Publib] book quotes

[Donna Jo Atwood]

"A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful
to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat
atlas can be used to cover up a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old
fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw
at a noisy cat."

Mark Twain

 

"Let us read and let us dance-two amusements that will never do any harm to
the world."   

Voltaire

 

"I had just taken to reading. I had just discovered the art of leaving my
body to sit impassive in a crumpled up attitude in a chair or sofa, while I
wandered over the hills and far away in novel company and new scenes... My
world began to expand very rapidly,... the reading habit had got me
securely."

H. G. Wells
