Famous quotes containing the words big and/or book:

    “It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “The English Bible—a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
