Famous quotes containing the words subjective and/or lists:

    ... the subjective viewpoint is the only one to use regarding a library. Your true library is a collection of the books you want. You may have deplorably poor taste or bad judgment. Never mind. Correct those traits before you exchange your books.

    —D.H. (David Herbert)
