Block Mountains

Famous quotes containing the words block and/or mountains:

“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)

“From the mountains to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home!”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
