Famous quotes containing the words comic, book and/or form:
“A guide book is addressed to those who plan to follow the traveler, doing what he has done, but more selectively. A travel book, in its purest, is addressed to those who do not plan to follow the traveler at all, but who require the exotic or comic anomalies, wonders and scandals of the literary form romance which their own place or time cannot entirely supply.”
—Paul Fussell (b. 1924)
“A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“A form upon the quilted
overcast, gleam, Sacrè
Coeur, saltlick
to the mind’s
desire”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
