Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or bookstore:

    “Where beauty is worshipped for beauty’s sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “I went to the bookstore and God was not there.
    Doctor Faustus was baby blue with a Knopf dog
    on his spine. He was frayed and threadbare
    with needing.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
