Alte Bücher / Old Books Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Alte Bücher / Old Books:

Who ever converses among old books will be hard to please among the new. William Temple

Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.

Bernard Baruch

In my home country, there was a little shop with old books, but it was really in the countryside. You couldn't find English books. I found this very avant-garde American art book that had information about Georgia O'Keeffe. I was very much impressed by her.

Yayoi Kusama

Half of my library are old books because I like seeing how people thought about their world at their time. So that I don't get bigheaded about something we just discovered and I can be humble about where we might go next. Because you can see who got stuff right and most of the people who got stuff wrong.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

I love old books. They tell you stories about their use. You can see where the fingerprints touched the pages as they held the book open. You can see how long they lingered on each page by the finger stains.

Jack Bowman

Who ever converses among old books will be hard to please among the new.

William Temple

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.

Oliver Goldsmith

I am something of an aficionado of thrift stores. In my youth, I regularly searched their shelves for old books.

Michael Dirda

As a biographer, I try to uncover the adventures and personalities behind each character I research. Once my character and I have reached an understanding, then I begin the detective work reading old books, old letters, old newspapers, and visiting the places where my subject lived. Often I turn up surprises, and of course, I pass them on.
