Grain Whiskey

Famous quotes containing the words grain and/or whiskey:

    Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Besides, you start drinking whiskey gambling, it gives you an excuse for losing. That’s something you don’t need, an excuse for losing.
    Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Bert Gordon (George C. Scott)
