Famous quotes containing the words unfinished, monument and/or press:

    “Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1928)

    “Thou art a monument without a tomb,
    And art alive still while thy book doth live
    And we have wits to read and praise to give.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
