Plate Fin Heat

Famous quotes containing the words plate, fin and/or heat:

    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)

    Since the fin has come a little early this siecle and anomie is all the rage, wry, dry tenderness is a suspect commodity.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Genius is present in every age, but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
