Famous quotes containing the words hope and/or simpson:

    “This nightmare occupied some ten pages of manuscript and wound off with a sermon so destructive of all hope to non-Presbyterians that it took the first prize. This composition was considered to be the very finest effort of the evening.... It may be remarked, in passing, that the number of compositions in which the word “beauteous” was over-fondled, and human experience referred to as “life’s page,” was up to the usual average.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “In my grandmother’s house there was always chicken soup
    And talk of the old country—mud and boards,
    Poverty,
    The snow falling down and necks of lovers.”
    —Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
