Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or works:

    “She was so overcome by the splendor of his achievement that she took him into the closet and selected a choice apple and delivered it to him, along with an improving lecture upon the added value and flavor a treat took to itself when it came without sin through virtuous effort. And while she closed with a Scriptural flourish, he “hooked” a doughnut.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Do not worry about the incarnation of ideas. If you are a poet, your works will contain them without your knowledge—they will be both moral and national if you follow your inspiration freely.”
    —Vissarion Belinsky (1810–1848)
