Famous quotes containing the words final and/or statement:

    A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.
    André Maurois (1885–1967)

    I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
