Booker Prize Winning

Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or winning:

    He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
    Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
    By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
    For when success a lover’s toil attends,
    Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    You with a bad coin in your socket,
    You my friend there with a winning air
    Who palmed the lie on me when you looked
    Brassily at my shyest secret ...
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
