Highest Award

Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or award:

“My mother and father are the only people on the whole planet for whom I will never begrudge a thing. Should I achieve great things, it is the work of their hands; they are splendid people and their absolute love of their children places them above the highest praise. It cloaks all of their shortcomings, shortcomings that may have resulted from a difficult life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
