Famous quotes containing the word fine:
“With their souls of patent leather,
they come down the road.
Hunched and nocturnal,
Where they breathe they impose,
silence of dark rubber,
and fear of fine sand.”
—Federico García Lorca (18981936)
“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)
“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.”
—Jacques Maritain (18821973)
