World Cup Final

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

    “We had to take the world as it was given:
    The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
    Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
    The mornings happened similar and stark
    In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
    Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The cup of Morgan Fay is shattered.
    Life is a bitter sage,
    And we are weary infants
    In a palsied age.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    ““If I hit him, he’ll hit me too,” Anton Petrovich thought in a flash. He pulled off the glove with a final yank and threw it awkwardly at Berg. The glove slapped against the wall and dropped into the washstand pitcher.
    “Good shot,” said Berg.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
