Piss Poor Performance

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or performance:

When I to sulph’rous and tormenting flames
Must render up myself.
Hamlet. Alas, poor ghost!”

“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
