Famous quotes containing the words final and/or point:

    “After the final no there comes a yes
    And on that yes the future world depends.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “But you must pay for conformity. All goes well as long as you run with conformists. But you, who are honest men in other particulars, know, that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also, that he shall not kneel to false gods, and, on the day when you meet him, you sink into the class of counterfeits.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
