Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or areas:
“Surely a gentle sister is the second best gift to a man; and it is first in point of occurrence; for the wife comes after.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
