Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or picking:
“I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.”
—Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
“One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
