Lead Pipe

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or pipe:

    Once lead this people into war and they will forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    I am dead against art’s being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the author—detach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blower’s pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl’s lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
