Famous quotes containing the words serial and/or blasts:

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

    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
    Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
    Is my destroyer.
    And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
    My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
