Famous quotes containing the words impeding, fair and/or trial:
“That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind.”

But write her fair words still in foulest terms?”

“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
