Grand Forks Sister

Famous quotes containing the words grand, forks and/or sister:

    One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

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

    For she has made me the laily worm
    That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
    An’ my sister Masery she’s made
    The machrel of the sea.
    —Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)
