Uncensored Crank Calls

Famous quotes containing the words crank and/or calls:

“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

“Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
