Famous quotes containing the word reviews:

    “Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books—same reviews.”
    —John Osborne (1929–1994)

    “I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
    —Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)

    “The skilful Nymph reviews her force with care:
    Let Spades be trumps! she said, and trumps they were.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
