Famous quotes containing the word finally:
“The house of my body has spoken
often as you rebuild me like blocks,
and promise to come visit
when Im finally adjusted on safe land,
and am livable, joist to joist
with storm windows and screens ...”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Weaker and weaker, the sunlight falls
In the afternoon. The proud and the strong
Have departed.
Those that are left are the unaccomplished,
The finally human,
Natives of a dwindled sphere.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue; I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.”
—Albert Camus (19131960)
