Famous quotes containing the words books, set and/or hydra:

    “There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “... the writer is initially set going by literature more than by life.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
