White Finish

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or finish:

    “But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
    Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
    There’s a light and a shadow on every man
    Who at last attains his lifted mark—
    Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
    Elate he never can be;
    He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
    Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
    Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I’ve got to go. That’s one of the penalties of being a doctor. I never seem to finish a conversation.”
    —Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Dr. Matt Hastings (John Agar)
