Famous quotes containing the words finely and/or ground:

    “Lo, how finely the Graces can it foote
    To the instrument:
    They dauncen deffly, and singen soote,

    Wants not a fourth Grace, to make the daunce even?
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
