Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or forks:

    “There is the grand truth about Nathaniel Hawthorne. He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes. For all men who say yes, lie; and all men who say no,—why, they are in the happy condition of judicious, unincumbered travellers in Europe; they cross the frontiers into Eternity with nothing but a carpet-bag,—that is to say, the Ego. Whereas those yes-gentry, they travel with heaps of baggage, and, damn them! they will never get through the Custom House.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Just think of all the spare time that has flown
    Straight into nothingness by being filled
    With forks and faces....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
