Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    Sunday night meant, in the dark, wintry, rainy Midlands ... anywhere where two creatures might stand and squeeze together and spoon.... Spooning was a fine art, whereas kissing and cuddling are calf-processes.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)

    ... that softening influence of the fine arts which makes other people’s hardships picturesque ...
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
