Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or flash:

    Mo Williams: Some people peddle apples, lamb chops, lumber. I peddle information. Skip ain’t sorry; he understands. We live in a different kind of world. Oh, once in a while he gets a little hot under the collar if I sell him short.
    Candy: But you wouldn’t sell him to a Commie!
    Mo Williams: What do you think I am, an informer?!
    Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)

    I think that in the swift white mind’s brain
    Neurons flash images of a world
    Undead and deathless, burgeoning again.
    I think that Spring will come this way, unfurled.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
