Poseurs Quotes

Poseurs quote from classy quote

The mimicry of passion is the most intolerable of all poses.

~ Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde Affectations Algernon Charles Swinburne Literary Criticism Mimicry Passion Poetry Poseurs Pretension

Of all books printed, probably not more than half are ever read. Many are embalmed in public libraries; many go into private quarters to fill spaces; many are glanced at and put away...scarcely opened until the fire needs kindling. The most ardent book-lovers are not always the greatest readers; indeed, the rabid bibliomaniac seldom reads at all. To him books are as ducats to the miser, something to be hoarded and not employed... So pleasant it is to buy book; so tiresome to utilize them.

~ Flora Haines Loughead
