Famous quotes containing the words meaner and/or books:
“These hands do lack nobility that they strike
A meaner than myself.”

“Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
