Another Random Quotation

I love how this book is written, yeah, so it's not an intalectual book, but I needed something to do while I spend hours on debate this week (it's a book on CD)

"You know how Hemingway writes? He couldn't write about this girls face, because he would say something like 'it was a pretty face' and that wouldn't be enough. This face needs someone like Dickens or maybe Tolstoy. Someone who would take a whole page and spend some time on her eyebrows and her cheeks, or maybe notice the shape of her mouth when she's concentrating on walking with her cane."

"Their machines are big and shiny, and they whir and hum. But do they really know more than some stone-age which doctor with a rattle and a guard full of ground up frog bones?"
