Competition Held

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or held:

    “The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”

    “He held the world upon his nose
    And this-a-way he gave a fling.
    His robes and symbols, ai-hi-hi
    And that-a-way he twirled the thing.
    Sombre as fir-trees, liquid cats
    Moved in the grass without a sound.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
