Book World

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or world:

    No other human being, no woman, no poem or music, book or painting can replace alcohol in its power to give man the illusion of real creation.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

    We placed the wreaths upon the splended granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us—loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe—yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!
    Victoria (1819–1901)
