Grain Scotch Whisky

Famous quotes containing the words grain, scotch and/or whisky:

    “Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “In Rangoon the heat of noon
    Is just what the natives shun.
    They put their Scotch or rye down
    And lie down.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “The whisky on your breath
    Could make a small boy dizzy;
    But I hung on like death;
    Such waltzing was not easy.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
