Small Volumes

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or volumes:

    Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
