Famous quotes containing the words picture, book and/or author:
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like they’re not worth much, just to prove a photographer’s point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin’ their nose or yawning. It’s so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
“A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.”
—Martin Tupper (1810–1889)
“Every other author may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense has been yet granted to very few.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
