Famous quotes containing the words brother, celebrity and/or edition:
“A dilettantism in nature is barren and unworthy. A fop of fields is no better than his brother on Broadway.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn’t know.”

“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)
