Famous quotes containing the words book and/or rich:
“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Poverty is an anomaly to rich people. It is very difficult to make out why people who want dinner do not ring the bell.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
