Secondary Pleasures

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or pleasures:

    Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.
    Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

    If Men and Women took their Pleasures as noisily as the Cats, what Londoner could ever hope to sleep of nights?
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
