Famous quotes containing the words big and/or book:

    The teeming Autumn big with rich increase,
    Bearing the wanton burden of the prime
    Like widowed wombs after their lords’ decease.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a single—and singular—piece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
