Cup Series Event

Famous quotes containing the words cup, series and/or event:

“In poorer lands
No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“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)

“Found a family, build a state,
The pledged event is still the same:
Matter in end will never abate
His ancient brutal claim.”
