| Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) | People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like. | |
| Alfred Hitchcock (1899 - 1980) | This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop. | |
| Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914) | The covers of this book are too far apart. | |
| Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881) | Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing. | |
| Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996) | All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value. | |
| Dame Rose Macaulay (1881 - 1958) | It was a book to kill time for those who like it better dead. | |
| Dave Barry | I think Superman should go on the Larry King show and announce that he would come back to life if people in all 50 states wanted him to. | |
| Dr. Samuel Johnson (1707 - 1784) | Paradise Lost is one of the books which the reader admires and puts down, and forgets to take up again. None ever wished it longer than it is. | |
| Edward Abbey (1927 - 1989) | How long does it take to write a good book? All of the years that you've lived. | |
| Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) | Books for general reading always smell badly. The odor of common people hangs about them. | |
| G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) | A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author. | |
| Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977) | From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it. | |
| Lord Brabazon | I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in twenty minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it. | |
| Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) | Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it. | |
| Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) | A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody has read. | |
| Moses Hadas (1900 - 1966) | Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I'll waste no time reading it. | |
| Moses Hadas (1900 - 1966) | This book fills a much-needed gap. | |
| Oscar Levant (1906 - 1972) | I have given up reading books; I find it takes my mind off myself. | |
| Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) | There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written. |
