Famous quotes containing the words the novel and/or who:
“The novel is the highest form of human expression so far attained. Why? Because it is so incapable of the absolute.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I can love both fair and brown;
Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betrays;
Her who loves loneness best, and her who masks and plays;
Her whom the country formed, and whom the town;
Her who believes, and her who tries;
Her who still weeps with spongy eyes;
And her who is dry cork, and never cries.
I can love her, and her, and you and you,
I can love any, so she be not true.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
