Main Rate

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or rate:

“I think the main thing, don’t you, is to keep the show on the road.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
