Famous quotes containing the words lion and/or book:
“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The difference between writing a book and being on television is the difference between conceiving a child and having a baby made in a test tube.”
