Famous quotes containing the words book and/or hunting:

    The existence of good bad literature—the fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that one’s intellect simply refuses to take seriously—is a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Escape
    from the power of the hunting pack,
    and to know that wisdom is best
    and beauty
    sheer holiness.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
