Review Books Classics

Famous quotes containing the words review, books and/or classics:

“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

“I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pester’d the world ever convince me of the contrary.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“Every man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
