Famous quotes containing the words treasure, maze and/or book:
“Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
But being got it is a treasure sweet,
Which to defend is harder than to get:
And ought not be profaned on either part,
For though ‘tis got by chance,’tis kept by art.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Society bristles with enigmas which look hard to solve. It is a perfect maze of intrigue.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
