Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water,—so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“her fine blades making the air wince
but her cargo
no promise then:
delivered
palpable
ours.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“It’s a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
