Odd Lines

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or lines:

“Borrowers of books—those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)

“... when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.... I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
