Famous quotes related to raw materials:

    In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, ‘memoirs to serve for a history,’ which is but materials to serve for a mythology.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
