Famous quotes containing the words final and/or bout:
“The final event to himself has been, that as he rose like a rocket, he fell like the stick.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
