Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “In saying what is obvious, never choose cunning. Yelling works better.”
    —Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)

    “Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.”
    —bell hooks (b. 1955)
