Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or digest:
“A slight digression: that bit about my mother was a deliberate lie. In reality, she was a woman of the people, simple and coarse, sordidly dressed in a kind of blouse hanging loose at the waist. I could, of course, have crossed it out, but I purposely leave it there as a sample of one of my essential traits: my light-hearted, inspired lying.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“The eating of a MacDonalds meal is like the reading of Readers Digestsmall, easily digested, carefully processed, carefully cut down, abridged. Readers Digest gives us knowledge that is easily compartmentalized, simplified, ideologically sound.”
—Clive Bloom, British educator. MacDonalds Man Meets Readers Digest, Readings in Popular Culture: Trivial Pursuits?, St. Martins Press (1990)
