Famous quotes containing the words meaner and/or books:
“These hands do lack nobility that they strike
A meaner than myself.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
