Twenty Chapters

Famous quotes containing the words twenty and/or chapters:

    “The first day that we landed upon that fatal shore
    The planters they came round us full twenty score or more,
    They rank’d us up like horses, and sold us out of hand
    Then yok’d us unto ploughs, my boys, to plow Van
    Dieman’s Land.”
    —Unknown. Van Dieman’s Land (l. 9–12)

    “Never did I read such tosh. As for the first two chapters we will let them pass, but the 3rd 4th 5th 6th—merely the scratching of pimples on the body of the bootboy at Claridges.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
