Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or books:

    And in a comic mood
    In mid-air take to bed a wife.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    Human contacts have been so highly valued in the past only because reading was not a common accomplishment.... The world, you must remember, is only just becoming literate. As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
