Serial Techniques

Famous quotes containing the words serial and/or techniques:

“An autobiography is an obituary in serial form with the last instalment missing.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
