Famous quotes containing the words novels, traffic and/or series:

    “The light that radiates from the great novels time can never dim, for human existence is perpetually being forgotten by man and thus the novelists’ discoveries, however old they may be, will never cease to astonish.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “Poems stirred
    into paper coffee-cups, eaten
    with petals on rye in the
    sun—the cold shadows in back,
    and the traffic grinding the
    borders of spring ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
