Outdoor Book Award

Famous quotes containing the words outdoor, book and/or award:

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Every book teaches a lesson, even if the lesson is only that one has chosen the wrong book.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
