Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:
“The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“There comes Poe, with his raven, like Barnaby Rudge,
Three-fifths of him genius, and two-fifths sheer fudge.
Who talks like a book of iambs and pentameters,
In a way to make people of common sense damn metres,
Who has written some things quite the best of their kind,
But the heart somehow seems all squeezed out by the mind.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
