Fallen/books

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or books:

“Like fallen apples, they will lose
Their sweetness at the bruise,
And then decay.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“In an extensive reading of recent books by psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and inspirationalists, I have discovered that they all suffer from one or more of these expression-complexes: italicizing, capitalizing, exclamation-pointing, multiple-interrogating, and itemizing. These are all forms of what the psychos themselves would call, if they faced their condition frankly, Rhetorical-Over-Compensation.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
