Famous quotes containing the words phrase and/or book:
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
“A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
