Fixed Rate

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or rate:

“The body is but a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stewpan and the whole fixed upon stilts.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
