Red Data Book

Famous quotes containing the words red, data and/or book:

    He was as bald as a hump.
    His ears stuck out like teacups
    and his tongue, my God, his tongue,
    like a red worm and when he kissed
    it crawled right in.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    When the book comes out it may hurt you—but in order for me to do it, it had to hurt me first. I can only tell you about yourself as much as I can face about myself.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
