Middle Ring

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or ring:

    Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    But whatever happens, wherever the scene is laid, somebody, somewhere, will quietly set out—somebody has already set out, somebody still rather far away is buying a ticket, is boarding a bus, a ship, a plane, has landed, is walking toward a million photographers, and presently he will ring at my door—a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
