  • Act two: The Westlands
  1. A Time of Exile (1991)

Famous quotes containing the word novels:

    “I have just opened Bacon’s “Advancement of Learning” for the first time, which I read with great delight. It is more like what Scott’s novels were than anything.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Society is the stage on which manners are shown; novels are the literature. Novels are the journal or record of manners; and the new importance of these books derives from the fact, that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface, and treat this part of life more worthily.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
