Famous quotes containing the words final and/or poll:
“Always and last, before the final ring
When all the fireworks blare, begins
A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in that bus in Montgomery, she’d still be standing.”
