Famous quotes containing the words final and/or runners:
“For I had expected always
Some brightness to hold in trust,
Some final innocence
To save from dust;”
—Stephen Spender (19091995)
“Why runners make lousy communists. In a word, individuality. Its the one characteristic all runners, as different as they are, seem to share.... Stick with it. Push yourself. Keep running. And youll never lose that wonderful sense of individuality you now enjoy. Right, comrade?”
—quoted in Guardian (London, Dec. 29, 1984)
