Block Classic

Famous quotes containing the words block and/or classic:

“Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“A classic is a book that doesn’t have to be written again.”
—Carl Van Doren (1885–1950)
