Famous quotes containing the word fine:
“A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe,
She can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby,
She can use her intuition instead of her brain,
But she cant fold a paper in a crowded train.”
—Phyllis McGinley (19051978)
“I cant make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Give us that grand word woman once again,
And lets have done with lady; ones a term
Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm,
Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen;
And ones a word for lackeys.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (18551919)
