Fat Volumes

Famous quotes containing the words fat and/or volumes:

    An artist should remain true. Otherwise his talent, like his stomach, grows fat and stuffy.
    Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
