| Quotes |
Some of these books were, on the face of it, frivolous and facetious;
but many, on the other hand, were serious and prophetic, moral and hortatory.
Merely to read the titles suggested innumerable schoolmasters,
innumerable clergymen mounting their platforms and pulpits and holding
forth with loquacity which far exceeded the hour usually allotted to
such discourse on this one subject.
-- Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own, 1929
