Iron Works

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or works:

“I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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