Edition Anchor

Famous quotes containing the words edition and/or anchor:

    “Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “This could be the day.
    I could slip anchor and wander
    to the end of the jetty
    uncoil into the waters
    a vessel of light moonglade
    ride the freshets to sundown”
    —Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
