Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    To stand on common ground
    here and there gritty with pebbles
    yet elsewhere ‘fine and mellow—
    uncommon fine for ploughing’
    there to labor
    planting the vegetable words
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Yet when the houre of thy designe
    To answer these fine things shall come,
    Speak not at large, say, I am thine;
    And then they have their answer home.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    It is fine for a woman to know a lot; but I don’t want her to have this shocking desire to be learned for learnedness sake. When I ask a woman a question, I like her to pretend to ignore what she really knows.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
