Christopher Morley Quotes

A Gathering Of Booksellers Is A Pleasant Sanhedrim To Attend. The Members Of This Ancient Craft Bear Mannerisms And Earmarks Just As Definitely Recognizable As Those Of The Cloak And Suit Business Or Any Other Trade. They Are Likely To Be A Little - Shall We Say - Worn At The Bindings, As Becomes Men Who Have Forsaken Worldly Profit To Pursue A Noble Calling Ill Rewarded In Cash. They Are Possibly A Trifle Embittered, Which Is An Excellent Demeanour For Mankind In The Face Of Inscrutable Heaven. Long Experience With Publishers' Salesmen Makes Them Suspicious Of Books Praised Between The Courses Of A Heavy Meal.
