Final Held

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or held:

    So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship
    Will stay with us at the last, backed by the night
    Whose ruse gave it our final meaning.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    What I would like to write is a book about nothing, a book without exterior attachments, which would be held together by the inner force of its style, as the earth without support is held in the air—a book that would have almost no subject or at least in which the subject would be almost invisible.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
