Volume Boot

Famous quotes containing the words volume and/or boot:

“We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.”

“... until the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes,
and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
