Famous quotes containing the words book and/or shops:
“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“And in the shops nothing
For people to eat;
Nothing for sale in
Stupidity Street.”
—Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)
