Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or lead:
“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Anybody can lead a frivolous life. A frivolous writer, however, must have taste and intelligence.”
