Source Book

Famous quotes containing the words source and/or book:

“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate. It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

“I know what say the fathers wise,—
The Book itself before me lies,
Old Chrysostom, best Augustine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
