Famous quotes containing the words infant, mortality and/or rate:

    When infant Science makes a pleasant face
    And waves again that hollow toy, the Race;
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all.
    William Dean Howells (1837–1920)

    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)
