Crank Handle

Famous quotes containing the words crank and/or handle:

“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)

“The surest way to ruin a man who doesn’t know how to handle money is to give him some.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
