Fallen/books

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or books:

    ‘Rise like Lions after slumber
    In unvanquishable number,
    Shake your chains to earth like dew
    Which in sleep had fallen on you—
    Ye are many—they are few.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Avoid all kinds of pleasantry and facetiousness in thy discourse with her, and ... suffer her not to look into Rabelais, or Scarron, or Don Quixote—
    MThey are all books which excite laughter; and ... there is no passion so serious, as lust.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
