Famous quotes containing the words classic and/or period:
“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
“I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
