A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him.
Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones.
I don't hold with the notion that only bad books make good movies.
I don't think any good book is based on factual experience. Bad books are about things the writer already knew before he wrote them.
A book's flaws make it less predictable.
Hating a book is not unlike hating a person; in fact it's tempting to just go ahead and hate the author personally, by proxy, qua human being, except that I know that would be a mistake.
Even the worst book can give us something to think about.
An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.
Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.
