Pitch Material

Famous quotes containing the words pitch and/or material:

“I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

“A second-class mind dealing with third-class material is hardly a necessity of life.”
—Harold Laski (1893–1950)
