Editions Omit

Famous quotes containing the words editions and/or omit:

“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“General statements omit what we really want to know. Example: “Some horses run faster than others.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
