Bound

Famous quotes containing the word bound:

“In the word of no master am I bound to believe.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

“The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
