Middle Earth

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or earth:

“F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“Let us be unashamed of soul,
As earth lies bare to heaven above!
How is it under our control
To love or not to love?”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
