Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    Comes from a fine family. So she tells me. Brother’s a priest, all that. But, you know, death, disaster, unfortunate investments. One day she’s a little princess, up on the hill. Next, she’s down there, working the bars for the best she can.
    Peter Prince, British screenwriter, and Stephen Frears. Harry (Bill Hunter)

    All the rest is mere fine writing.
    Paul Verlaine (1844–1896)

    General McLaidlaw: Lena will never marry. She’s not the marrying sort. I see no reason to worry. There’s enough to care for her for the rest of her life.
    Mrs. McLaidlaw: I suppose you’re right, dear. I’m afraid she is rather spinsterish.
    General McLaidlaw: What’s wrong with that. The old maid’s a respectable institution. All women are not alike. Lena has intellect and a fine solid character.
    Samson Raphaelson (1896–1983)
