clockwork quotes

Who ever heard of a clockwork orange? Then I read a malenky bit out loud in a sort of very high type preaching goloss: 'The attempt to impose upon man, a creature of growth and capable of sweetness, to ooze juicily at the last round the bearded lips of God, to attemptto impose,Isay, laws and conditions appropriate to a mechanical creation, against this I raise my sword- pen.'

-Wilson
  A Clockwork Orange.

I would have been disappointed if I hung up my pen without ever getting one†[and] now I hope to get one every 30 years like clockwork.
