Famous quotes containing the words talent, contest and/or high:
“With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.”

“The contest ends at midnight tonight
But you can submit again, and again.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.””
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
