Irving Ravetch

Famous quotes containing the words irving and/or ravetch:

    The great British Library—an immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or “pure English, undefiled” wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    You have another little drink, and I’ll have another little drink, and maybe we can work up some real family feeling here.
    —Irving Ravetch (b. 1920)
