Famous quotes containing the words final and/or speech:
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
“Tell X that speech is not dirty silence
Clarified. It is silence made still dirtier.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
