Literary Book

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or book:

“Society has really no graver interest than the well-being of the literary class.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Painting myself for others, I have painted my inward self with colors clearer than my original ones. I have no more made my book than my book has made me—a book consubstantial with its author, concerned with my own self, an integral part of my life; not concerned with some third-hand, extraneous purpose, like all other books.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
