Trivial Literature

Famous quotes containing the words trivial and/or literature:

“Let a man take time enough for the most trivial deed, though it be but the paring of his nails.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
