Flat Spring

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or spring:

“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

“No, no! Go from me. I have still the flavour,
Soft as spring wind that’s come from birchen bowers.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
