Auxiliary Floating Dry

Famous quotes containing the words floating and/or dry:

“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)

“The good die first
And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust
Burn to the socket.”
