Famous quotes containing the words young, adult, book and/or award:
“Some, for renown, on scraps of learning dote,
And think they grow immortal as they quote.”
—Edward Young (1683–1765)
“An air lambent with adult enterprise ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“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)
