Honk Quotes
The 'New York Honk,' as it was called, was the most fashionable accent an American male could have at that time, namely, the spring of 1963. One achieved it by forcing all words out through the nostrils rather than the mouth. It was at once virile... and utterly affected. Nelson Rockefeller had a New York Honk.
Tom Wolfe
I am a very careless person in some ways, I lose everything. But I never lost anything of this Course. People would would stop me in the subway and say, "Miss, you forgot your something or other, and hand it back to me.” Taxis would honk their horns, you know and say, "You left something in the back seat.” My secretary would say, "Are you sure this belongs in this case report, it doesn't sound right?” It was impossible to lose this Course, and I tried. But it...followed me around in an odd kind of way. People would send it back to me, anything. And I always got it back. We never lost anything, which is incredible.
Helen Schucman
Midnight, when the monotonous tick-tock of diurnal progress is for one throbbing moment replaced by the cool but smokey honk of a saxophone, alternately seductive and threatening. Midnight. The black growth on the clock face that has to be biopsied every twenty-four hours to see whether it is malignant or benign.
Tom Robbins
