Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:
“Men, wives, and children stare, cry out, and run,
As it were doomsday.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
