Smoke Test

Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or test:

    But today I set the bed afire
    and smoke is filling the room,
    it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
    and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
    I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
    and they are just for you....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is the test of a novel writer’s art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass; but the reader may be sure that it is always there.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
