Fair Held

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or held:

“When I was fair and young, and favor graced me,
Of many was I sought, their mistress for to be;
But I did scorn them all, and answered them therefore,
“Go, go, go seek some otherwhere!
Importune me no more!””
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

“But compared with the task of selecting a piece of French pastry held by an impatient waiter a move in chess is like reaching for a salary check in its demand on the contemplative faculties.”
