Famous quotes containing the words book and/or rich:
“The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“You may cut off the heads of every rich man now living—of every statesman—every literary, and every scientific authority, without in the least changing the social situation. Artists, of course, disappeared long ago as social forces. So did the church. Corporations are not elevators, but levellers, as I see them.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
