Famous quotes containing the words box and/or volume:
“He holds the wire from this box of nerves
Praising the moral error
Of birth and death, the two sad knaves of thieves,
And the hungers emperor;
He pulls the chain, the cistern moves.”

“I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage. Leaves must follow upon each other as leagues used to follow in the days gone by, on and on to the appointed end, which, being Truth itself, is Oneone for all men and for all occupations.”
—Joseph Conrad (18571924)
