Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“Well, a fine opinion he must have of me, if he thinks I’d go to any man without a proper fortune. And this you may tell your Mr. Party of the First Part, that when I wed whatever’s my own goes with me.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

“It’s a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

“But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
