Famous quotes containing the words wrest, point and/or hotel:

    I cannot speke and loke lyke a saynct,
    Use wiles for witt and make deceyt a pleasure,
    And call crafft counsell, for proffet styll to paint.
    I cannot wrest the law to fill the coffer
    With innocent blode to fede my sellff fat,
    And doo most hurt where most hellp I offer.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.
    Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
