Famous quotes containing the words fat and/or volumes:
“Outside every fat man there was an even fatter man trying to close in.”
—Kingsley Amis (b. 1922)
“These volumes contain not the highest, but a very practicable wisdom, which startles and provokes, rather than informs us. Carlyle does not oblige us to think; we have thought enough for him already, but he compels us to act.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
