Book Lust

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or lust:

“I greet you at the beginning of a great career, which must yet have had a long foreground somewhere, for such a start. I rubbed my eyes a little to see if this sunbeam were no illusion; but the solid sense of the book is a sober certainty. It has the best merits, namely, of fortifying and encouraging.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“One sin, I know, another doth provoke.
Murder’s as near to lust as flame to smoke.”
