Dime Novels

Famous quotes containing the words dime and/or novels:

    The whole value of the dime is in knowing what to do with it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Every reader of the Dreiser novels must cherish astounding specimens—of awkward, platitudinous marginalia, of whole scenes spoiled by bad writing, of phrases as brackish as so many lumps of sodium hyposulphite.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
