Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or edition:
“All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
