“… A good Book, has no Ending…”

“Just the knowledge that a good book is waiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier.”

“One beginning and one ending for a book was a thing I did not agree with. A good book may have three openings entirely dissimilar and inter-related only in the prescience of the author, or for that matter one hundred times as many endings.”

“In the planning stage of a book, don't plan the ending. It has to be earned by all that will go before it.”

“A good book should leave you…. slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.”

“The end to which good men's libraries finally come is a melancholy subject. Few things are so much loved by some, and despised and neglected by others, as books, and specially theological books.”

“One man is as good as another until he has written a book.”

“Our book technology has Gutenberg at one end and the Ford assembly lines at the other. Both are obsolete.”

“No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books.”

“For domination has nothing whatsoever to do with good government, and power as an end in itself destroys good government.”
