Famous quotes containing the words selected, titles, bookstore and/or library:

    “The final flat of the hoe’s approval stamp
    Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “I went to the bookstore and God was not there.
    Doctor Faustus was baby blue with a Knopf dog
    on his spine. He was frayed and threadbare
    with needing.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I view askance a book that remains undisturbed for a year. Oughtn’t it to have a ticket of leave? I think I may safely say no book in my library remains unopened a year at a time, except my own works and Tennyson’s.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
