Million Volumes

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or volumes:

    To think to know the country and not know
    The hillside on the day the sun lets go
    Ten million silver lizards out of snow!
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
