Famous quotes containing the words home and/or plate:
“I gleaned jests at home from obsolete farces.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.”
—Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
