Offensive Drive

Famous quotes containing the words offensive and/or drive:

“There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“You may drive out nature with a pitchfork, yet she’ll be constantly running back.”
