Living Dub Volume

Famous quotes containing the words living, dub and/or volume:

    The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but man only.
    Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)

    Whom do we dub as Gentleman? The
    Knave, the fool, the brute—
    If they but own full tithe of gold, and
    Wear a courtly suit.
    Eliza Cook (1818–1889)

    F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
