Famous quotes containing the words bernard and/or lovell:

    There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
