Block Classic

Famous quotes containing the words block and/or classic:

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
