Fly Crank

Famous quotes containing the words fly and/or crank:

“The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, What a dust do I raise!”
—Aesop (6th century B.C.)

“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)
