Famous quotes containing the words book and/or article:
“What I would like to write is a book about nothing, a book without exterior attachments, which would be held together by the inner force of its style, as the earth without support is held in the air—a book that would have almost no subject or at least in which the subject would be almost invisible.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture—and very much to our credit.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
