Famous quotes containing the words brother, celebrity and/or edition:
“Your brother and my sister no sooner met but they looked;
no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they
sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the
reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the
remedy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
