Piss Poor Performance

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or performance:

“A heap of epithets is poor praise: the praise lies in the facts, and in the way of telling them.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

“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)
