Famous quotes containing the words satire and/or book:
“Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
