Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“...many men choose a wife amid the deft-fingered clerks in preference to the society misses. The woman clerk has studied the value of concentration, learned the lesson that incites to work when a burden bears heavily upon her strength. She knows the word of self- reliance, and the fine courage that springs from the consciousness that a good result has been accomplished by a well-directed effort.”
—Clara (Marquise)

“Goodbye, Maria. I’m sure you’ll make a very fine nun.”
—Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

“The white stretch
of its white beach,
curved as the moon crescent
or ivory when some fine hand
chisels it.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
