Famous quotes containing the words radio and/or row:

    England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    all afternoon
    Their witless offspring flock like piped rats to its siren
    Crescendo, and agape on the crumbling ridge
    Stand in a row and learn.
    William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
