Rule Books

Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or books:

    Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.
    Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)

    In an extensive reading of recent books by psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and inspirationalists, I have discovered that they all suffer from one or more of these expression-complexes: italicizing, capitalizing, exclamation-pointing, multiple-interrogating, and itemizing. These are all forms of what the psychos themselves would call, if they faced their condition frankly, Rhetorical-Over-Compensation.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
