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)

    Nowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.
    Thomas Malory (c. 1430–1471)
