Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or crank:
“The hand of the diligent will rule, while the lazy will be put to forced labor.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:24.
“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)
