Close Sets

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or sets:

“Outside every fat man there was an even fatter man trying to close in.”
—Kingsley Amis (b. 1922)

“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
