Fine Cut

Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or cut:

    “To have gathered from the air a live tradition
    or from a fine old eye the unconquered flame

    all in the diffidence that faltered . . .”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Emperor Joseph II: Your work is ingenious. It’s quality work, and there are simply too many notes, that’s all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect.
