Chinese Spring Offensive

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or offensive:

    And may it be that you have quite forgot
    A husband’s office? Shall, Antipholus,
    Even in the spring of love, thy love-springs rot?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
