You, O Books, are the golden vessels of the temple, the arms of the clerical militia with which the missiles of the most wicked are destroyed; fruitful olives, vines of Engaddi, fig-trees knowing no sterility; burning lamps to be ever held in the hand. (Quote by - Richard Aungervyle)

There are people already sharing eBooks out there, .. and they do it simply because they love books. You don't buy a second copy of a book, cut the spine off, lay each page on a scanner, run that .tif through an OCR (Optical Character Reader), hand edit the resulting output for errors and then post it online if you don't love the book. it can up to 80 hours to turn a printed novel into an eBook. I figure if someone out there is willing to put in 80 hours of work promoting my book, then I'd prefer they do it in a way that gives a better return to me. (Quote by - Cory Doctorow)

OLD, adj. In that stage of usefulness which is not inconsistent with general inefficiency, as an _old man_. Discredited by lapse of time and offensive to the popular taste, as an _old_ book.

Vanity would be the attempts at a higher tier. The simple steps of my soul will carry me in a heartbeat to a nicer residence than that of ministers, of presidents or kings and queens, by a simple test of imagination. I am thinking: should I go in..?! And if I get in, should I keep that object that speaks of the past?!.. A photo of the loved ones.. I was a child embracing the first page of the book of happiness the warm hands of my parents. (Quote by - Mariana Fulger)

If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that. (Quote by - Michael Gorman)

That is a good book which is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit. (Quote by - A. Bronson Alcott)
