Emptying

Famous quotes containing the word emptying:

“Come with bows bent and with emptying of quivers,
Maiden most perfect,lady of light,”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)

“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
