Final Race

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or race:

    After a month or so I get used to the book’s final stage, to its having been weaned from my brain. I now regard it with a kind of amused tenderness as a man regards not his son, but the young wife of his son.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Ought we to smile,
    Perhaps make friends? No: in the race for seats
    You’re best alone. Friendship is not worth while.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
