sale quotes

Soon I was alone and began cursing the bloody bible because there were no titles in italthough I found the source of practically every good title you ever heard of. But the boys, principally Kipling, had been there before me and swiped all the good ones so I called the book Men Without Women hoping it would have a large sale among the fairies and old Vassar Girls.

- Ernest Millar Hemingway
  Letter to F Scott Fitzgerald,15 Sep.

If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid.

- Herman Melville
