Famous quotes containing the words book and/or kings:

    A guide book is addressed to those who plan to follow the traveler, doing what he has done, but more selectively. A travel book, in its purest, is addressed to those who do not plan to follow the traveler at all, but who require the exotic or comic anomalies, wonders and scandals of the literary form romance which their own place or time cannot entirely supply.
    Paul Fussell (b. 1924)

    Go, grandly borne, with such a train
    As greatest kings might die to gain.
    The just, the wise, the brave,
    Attend thee to the grave.
    Richard Henry Stoddard (1825–1903)
