Literary Book

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or book:

“I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

“That book is good
Which puts me in a working mood.
Unless to Thought be added Will
Apollo is an imbecile.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
