Crude Oil Spilled

Famous quotes containing the words crude, oil and/or spilled:

    On the pavement
    of my trampled soul
    the soles of madmen
    stamp the prints of rude, crude words.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
