Overall, the library held a hushed exultation, as though the cherished volumes were all singing soundlessly within their covers (Volumes Quotes)
When one has never heard a man’s name in the course of one’s life, it speaks volumes for him; he must be quite respectable (Volumes Quotes)
I have now a library of nearly nine hundred volumes, over seven hundred of which I wrote myself (Volumes Quotes)
History no longer shall be a dull book. It shall walk incarnate in every just and wise man. You shall not tell me by language and titles a catalogue of the volumes you have read. You shall make me feel what periods you have lived (Volumes Quotes)

Thousands of volumes have been written about aviation, but we do not automatically have thousands of true and special friends in their authors. That rare writer who comes alive on a page does it by giving of himself, by writing of meanings, and not just of fact or of things that have happened to him. The writers of flight who have done this are usually found together in a special section on private bookshelves (Volumes Quotes)
The lessons of science should be experimental also. The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow outvalues all theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry (Volumes Quotes)
The history of books shows the humblest origin of some of the most valued, wrought as these were out of obscure materials by persons whose names thereafter became illustrious. The thumbed volumes, now so precious to thousands, were compiled from personal experiences and owe their interest to touches of inspiration of which the writer was less author than amanuensis, himself the voiced word of life for all times (Volumes Quotes)
To exact of every man who writes that he should say something new, would be to reduce authors to a small number; to oblige the most fertile genius to say only what is new, would be to contract his volumes to a few pages. Yet, surely, there ought to be some bounds to repetition; libraries ought no more to be heaped for ever with the same thoughts differently expressed, than with the same books differently decorated (Volumes Quotes)
Experience alone can give a final answer. The knowledge gained in a few years by a commission of the kind suggested would be worth more than volumes of mere assertions and contradictions (Volumes Quotes)
I therefore set to work, and after two and a half years of not inconsiderable labour I now have the privilege and the satisfaction of accompanying the early volumes of the series with this preface (Volumes Quotes)
They improvidentially piped growing volumes of sewage into the sea, the healing virtues of which were advertised on every railway station (Volumes Quotes)
There; how d’ye like that, eh? A liberal education in twelve volumes, with an index (Volumes Quotes)
They castrate the books of other men in order that with the fat of their works they may lard their own lean volumes (Volumes Quotes)
Liberty, then, about which so many volumes have been written is, when accurately defined, only the power of acting (Volumes Quotes)
These papers of the day have uses more adequate to the purposes of common life than more pompous and durable volumes (Volumes Quotes)
The sheer act of listening speaks volumes that even a great speech can’t communicate (Volumes Quotes)
Oh, you ask me, what is the greatest torture of a person who does portraits for a living? I could fill several volumes with nice nasty stories. I don’t know (Volumes Quotes)
The best books of our times have included the three mature volumes of Philip Larkin. They’re very short books of poems, and very carefully arranged (Volumes Quotes)
It is difficult sharing and capturing so many years of memories and the people behind the words-and even though that guest book can speak volumes, in between, the pages remain so silent (Volumes Quotes)
Watch out for the people you consider as friends who fail to congratulate your accomplishments, their silence speaks volumes (Volumes Quotes)
In organic chemistry there exist certain types which are conserved even when, in place of hydrogen, equal volumes of chlorine, of bromine, etc. are introduced (Volumes Quotes)
A miracle worker who can do more with less, pacify rival groups, endure chronic second guessing, tolerate low levels of support, process large volumes of paper, and work double shifts. He or she will have carte blanche to innovate, but cannot spend much money, replace any personnel, or upset any constituency (Volumes Quotes)
Apple and Samsung are selling in such high volumes, and they’re vertically integrated more and more, that it’s very, very hard for anyone to compete against Apple and Samsung in the high-volume part of the smartphone or tablet market. (Volumes Quotes)
The best books of our times have included the three mature volumes of Philip Larkin. They’re very short books of poems, and very carefully arranged. (Volumes Quotes)
...how odd to think of one’s life not as chapters in a book but as complete volumes, separate and distinct. (Volumes Quotes)
The most inspiring objects are books. I have about 5,000 volumes in my home library. It’s an unending source of visuals and ideas. (Volumes Quotes)
Knowing I lov’d my books, he furnish’d me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom. (Volumes Quotes)
