Bottom Pole

Famous quotes containing the words bottom and/or pole:

“At bottom there is in Joyce a profound hatred for humanity—the scholar’s hatred.

He is in revolt not against institutions, but against mankind.... Ulysses is like a vomit spilled by a delicate child whose stomach has been overloaded with sweetmeats.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.”
