Famous quotes containing the words high, starting and/or torque:

    “The people in power will not disappear voluntarily, giving flowers to the cops just isn’t going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flower pot from a high window.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “The starting point of the human and the end,
    That in which space itself is contained, the gate
    To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
    By day, night and that which night illumines,
    Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
    Night’s hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.”
    —Diane Glancy (b. 1941)
