Pull Crank

Famous quotes containing the words pull and/or crank:

“My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
