Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
    Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
    When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
    On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
    In the fine old English Tory times;
    Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

    It’s fine to be a great democrat when you’ve a slave to rub your boots on.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    To have gathered from the air a live tradition
    or from a fine old eye the unconquered flame
    This is not vanity.
    Here error is all in the not done,
    all in the diffidence that faltered . . .
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
