Famous quotes containing the word book:
“Many counterrevolutionary books have been written in favor of the Revolution. But Burke has written a revolutionary book against the Revolution.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (17721801)
“Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around, and nearly every book represents what my sons third grade teacher refers to as a teachable moment.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (19031974)
