Beam Final

Famous quotes containing the words beam and/or final:

    It was at that moment, just after Krug had fallen through the bottom of a confused dream and sat up on the straw with a gasp—and just before his reality, his remembered hideous misfortune could pounce upon him—it was then that I felt a pang of pity for Adam and slid towards him along an inclined beam of pale light—causing instantaneous madness, but at least saving him from the senseless agony of his logical fate.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The final test of a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, and of anything else which we cannot define.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
