Famous quotes containing the word covers:

    “What art can paint or gild any object in afterlife with the glow which Nature gives to the first baubles of childhood. St. Peter’s cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed. How the imagination cleaves to the warm glories of that tinsel even now! What entertainments make every day bright and short for the fine freshman!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Boys finding for the first time their loins filled with heart’s
    blood
    Widowed farmers whose hands float under light covers to find
    themselves
    Arisen at sunrise”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “The covers of this book are too far apart.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
