Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or books:

“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”

“An author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children.”
