Book Begins

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or begins:

“There comes Poe, with his raven, like Barnaby Rudge,
Three-fifths of him genius, and two-fifths sheer fudge.
Who talks like a book of iambs and pentameters,
In a way to make people of common sense damn metres,
Who has written some things quite the best of their kind,
But the heart somehow seems all squeezed out by the mind.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“Heaven lies about us in our infancy ... and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
