Hand Crank

Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or crank:

    Farewell, my Youth! for now we needs must part,
    For here the paths divide;
    Here hand from hand must sever, heart from heart,—
    Divergence deep and wide.
    Rosamund Marriott Watson (1863–1911)

    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)
