“Hitler is a rotten speaker: raucous in voice, graceless in gesture, and loose in the composition of his speeches. It is not "personal magnetism" that makes him a power with the young -- the older are mostly driven to his gatherings -- but a belief in his genius that is artificially created by years of the most elaborate and most persistent boosting.”
Joseph McCabe
“I have written a raucous valentine to a poet's dream and agony.”
Ben Hecht
“If you're playing on a soft-sounding instrument like a Rhodes, you're not going to write honky-tonk raucous rock and roll. The character of the instrument will be imbedded in whatever you write.”
Christine McVie
“They know the kind of raucous atmosphere they're in for. They've faced it all year, so I don't think there's much preparation we need to do with them.”
Mike Eaves
“When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.”
Bible
“Rotten wood cannot be carved”
Chinese Proverbs
“I have been made redundant before and it is a terrible blow; redundant is a rotten word because it makes you think you are useless.”
Billy Connolly
