Nero Wolfe Omnibus

Famous quotes containing the words nero, wolfe and/or omnibus:

    The ghost of the heart of manred Cain
    And the more murderous brain
    Of Man, still redder Nero that conceived the death
    Of his mother Earth, and tore
    Her womb, to know the place where he was conceived.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art ... is merely romantic fiction.... The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
    —Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    An omnibus across the bridge
    Crawls like a yellow butterfly,
    And, here and there, a passer-by
    Shows like a little restless midge.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
