Famous quotes containing the words fat and/or volumes:
“Mrs. Coleys three-flat brick
Isnt here any more.
All done with seeing her fat little form
Burst out of the basement door....”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The great British Libraryan immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or pure English, undefiled wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.”
—Washington Irving (17831859)
