Famous quotes containing the words rate, people and/or hire:
“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)
“Simone Clouseau: We can’t just let him rot in prison.
Sir Charles: Oh, it takes years for people to rot.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“Jalous he was, and heeld hire narwe in cage,
For she was wilde and yong, and he was old,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
