Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or crank:
“God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.”

“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)
