Famous quotes containing the words year and/or award:
“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
