I was sand, I was snow—written on, rewritten, smoothed over. Margaret Atwood
Delight in smooth sounding platitudes, refusal to face unpleasant facts ... genuine love of peace and pathetic belief that love can be its sole foundation ... the utter devotion of the Liberals to sentiment apart from reality ...though free from wickedness or evil design, played a definite part in the unleashing upon the world of horrors and miseries [WWII] Winston Churchill
Dashiell Hammett quote: "Joel Cairo: You always have a very smooth explanation ready...."
Joel Cairo: You always have a very smooth explanation ready. Sam Spade: What do you want me to do, learn to stutter? Dashiell Hammett
