Famous quotes containing the words cotton, bowl and/or classic:

    We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, will often peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    How can I go on, I cannot. Oh just let me flop down flat on the road like a big fat jelly out of bowl and never move again!
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    The detective novel is the art-for-art’s-sake of our yawning Philistinism, the classic example of a specialized form of art removed from contact with the life it pretends to build on.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)
