Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or book:
“There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
—Raymond Chandler (18881959)
“I have unclasped
To thee the book even of my secret soul.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
