Newbery Honor Book

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or book:

    I honor your art, because you contrived it, but it only helps those who think the way you do. You may give a sick man your best potion but he’ll die if he thinks it’s poison.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    It’s a hard feeling when everyone’s in a hurry to talk to somebody else, but not to talk to you. Sometimes you get a feeling of need to talk to somebody. Somebody who wants to listen to you other than “Why didn’t you get me the right number?”
    Heather Lamb, U.S. telephone operator. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)
