Famous quotes containing the words covers and/or parodies:
“The covers of this book are too far apart.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.”
