World Cup Final

Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or final:

    “Man, dreame no more of curious mysteries,
    As what was here before the world was made,
    The first Mans life, the state of Paradise,
    Where heaven is, or hell’s eternall shade,
    For Gods works are like him, all infinite;
    And curious search, but craftie sinnes delight.”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    “Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.”
    —Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)

    “So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship
    Will stay with us at the last, backed by the night
    Whose ruse gave it our final meaning.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
