Book Rich

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or rich:

    Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    ... such are the secret
    outcomes of revolution!
    that two women can meet
    ...
    as two eyes in one brow
    receiving at one moment
    the rainbow of the world.
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
