Original Quake

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or quake:

“A masterpiece of fiction is an original world and as such is not likely to fit the world of the reader.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“There are two kinds of timidity—timidity of mind, and timidity of the nerves; physical timidity, and moral timidity. Each is independent of the other. The body may be frightened and quake while the mind remains calm and bold, and vice versë. This is the key to many eccentricities of conduct. When both kinds meet in the same man he will be good for nothing all his life.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
