'An author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children.'
Quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
'Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine- tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.'
