Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or final:

    “In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “In the course of a life devoted less to living than to reading, I have verified many times that literary intentions and theories are nothing more than stimuli and that the final work usually ignores or even contradicts them.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
