Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or subject:

    The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Give me a thrill, says the reader,
    Give me a kick;
    I don’t care how you succeed, or
    What subject you pick.
