Grand Prix Gold

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or gold:

    There is the grand truth about Nathaniel Hawthorne. He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes. For all men who say yes, lie; and all men who say no,—why, they are in the happy condition of judicious, unincumbered travellers in Europe; they cross the frontiers into Eternity with nothing but a carpet-bag,—that is to say, the Ego. Whereas those yes-gentry, they travel with heaps of baggage, and, damn them! they will never get through the Custom House.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    In the gold mouth of a flower
    the black smell of spring earth.
    No more skulls on our desks
    but the pervasive
    testing of death....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
