There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.[translation by John Willis Clark]There are some who write and fling books broadcast on the world as if they were fritters.[translation by John Ormsby][No obstante esto, hay algunos que así componen y arrojan libros de sí como si fuesen buñuelos.]
