Bad Book

Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or book:

“For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

“A guide book is addressed to those who plan to follow the traveler, doing what he has done, but more selectively. A travel book, in its purest, is addressed to those who do not plan to follow the traveler at all, but who require the exotic or comic anomalies, wonders and scandals of the literary form romance which their own place or time cannot entirely supply.”
—Paul Fussell (b. 1924)
