Famous quotes containing the words hidden and/or volume:

“It is no longer a flame hidden in my veins; now it is Venus in all her might fastened to her prey.”

“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
