Famous quotes containing the words dark, age and/or book:
“—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
and, lulled within, a family with pets,
—and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–91)
““Classic.” A book which people praise and don’t read.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
