Riding Associations

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or associations:

    True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank;
    A ferlie he spied wi’ his e’e;

    Come riding down by the Eildon Tree.
    Unknown. Thomas the Rhymer (l. 1–4)

    Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
