Literary Book

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or book:

“There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
