Famous quotes containing the words children, book, year and/or picture:
“As a man has no right to kill one of his children if it is diseased or insane, so a man who has made the gradual and conscious expression of his personality in literature the aim of his life, has no right to suppress himself any carefully considered work which seemed good enough when it was written. Suppression, if it is deserved, will come rapidly enough from the same causes that suppress the unworthy members of a man’s family.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.”
—William Styron (b. 1925)
“each year we see
Breeds new beginnings, disappointments new;”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
