Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or books:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“His books are solid and workmanlike, as all that England does; and they are graceful and readable also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
