Famous quotes containing the words plate and/or spikes:
“I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.”
—Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
“corolla of bleary spikes pushed down and broken like a battered
crown, seeds fallen out of its face, soon-to-be- toothless mouth of
sunny air, sunrays obliterated on its hairy head like a dried wire
spiderweb,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
