Famous quotes containing the words edition and/or monster:
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“You have not yet learned that in this life you have to be like everyone else: the perfect mediocrity—no better, no worse. Individuality is a monster and it must be strangled in its cradle to make our friends feel comfortable.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
