A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.

God's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.

The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning.
