Snaffle Bits

Famous quotes containing the words snaffle and/or bits:

“They use the snaffle and the curb all right;
But where’s the bloody horse?”
—Roy Campbell (1902–1957)

“They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
