Famous quotes containing the words hint and/or book:
“My travel’s history,
Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle,
Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven,
It was my hint to speak—such was my process—
And of the cannibals that each other eat,
The anthropophagi, and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The book exists for us, perchance, which will explain our miracles and reveal new ones.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
