Famous quotes containing the words gospel, book and/or fragment:
“The drama’s altar isn’t on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office. There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh; and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year. The Dove of Inspiration, of the desire for inspiration, has flown away from it; and on it’s roof, now, the commonplace crow caws candidly.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.”
—Martin Tupper (1810–1889)
“some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learned art;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
