Famous quotes containing the words books, written, hearn, japanese and/or subjects:
“A book should long for pen, ink, and writing-table: but usually it is pen, ink, and writing-table that long for a book. That is why books are so negligible nowadays.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mr. Whitman’s muse is at once indecent and ugly, lascivious and gawky, lubricious and coarse.”
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
“The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.”
—Paul Theroux (b. 1941)
“The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
Are their males’ subjects and at their controls:
Man, more divine, the master of all these,
Lord of the wide world and wild watery seas,
Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
Are masters to their females, and their lords:
Then let your will attend on their accords.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
