Famous quotes containing the words vincent and/or price:

    The gossiping of friendly spheres,
    The creaking of the tented sky,
    The ticking of Eternity.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    I have asked a lot of my emotions—one hundred and twenty stories. The price was high, right up with Kipling, because there was one little drop of something, not blood, not a tear, not my seed, but me more intimately than these, in every story, it was the extra I had. Now it has gone and I am just like you now.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
