Famous quotes containing the words final, time and/or trial:
“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.”

“Was there a little time between the invention of language and the coming of true and false?”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
