Extra Beats

Famous quotes containing the words extra and/or beats:

    “I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)

    “Grant me an old man’s frenzy.
    Myself must I remake
    Till I am Timon and Lear
    Or that William Blake
    Who beats upon the wall
    Till truth obeyed his call....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
