Bearing Crank

Famous quotes containing the words bearing and/or crank:

“And nightly under the simple stars
As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away,”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
