Offensive Drive

Famous quotes containing the words offensive and/or drive:

“I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“To drive Paul out of any lumber camp
All that was needed was to say to him,
“How is the wife, Paul?” and he’d disappear.”
