Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or mess:
“The Opera is obviously the first draft of a fine spectacle; it suggests the idea of one.”

“The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
