Book Lust

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or lust:

“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

“The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.”
