Famous quotes containing the words extra, bits and/or book:
“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“At death, you break up: the bits that were you
Start speeding away from each other for ever
With no one to see.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticized for us!”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
