A book may be very amusing with numerous errors, or it may be very dull without a single abusurdity. —Oliver Goldsmith
I like this quote!
the lack of absurdity is dull indeed! I agree with ched a most excellent quote!
That is for sure. (Although the worst is dull books that are also poorly written!)But you know, in that quote, you could as easily substitute the word "life" for "book."
So true :-)
i guess it could be dull AND with numerous errors?hmmm i've read lots of essays like that lately...
Aren't books great? They are a luxery for me as they aren't easy to buy here but I figure since I'm not wearing any expensive clothing, not carrying a Louis Vuiton bag and do my own hair, that I can afford them. I'm worth it, right?
Thank you for taking the time to respond!
