Famous quotes containing the words file and/or types:

    “I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled “Science Fiction” ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)

    “He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
    Senile fudge and solemn:
    Spare, editor, to condemn
    These dry leaves of his autumn.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
