Oscar Wilde on Dickens’ The Old Curiosity Shop: “One must have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing.”These are just a few favorites of mine from the remarks that Sherry has gathered together. Note that I don't necessarily agree. I simply find them hilarious. Read the rest at Semicolon.
Mark Twain: “Jane Austen? Why I go so far as to say that any library is a good library that does not contain a volume by Jane Austen. Even if it contains no other book.”
W.H. Auden on Alfred, Lord Tennyson: “There was little about melancholy that he didn’t know; there was little else that he did.”
Via Brandywine Books where there are a few other amusing comments.
