Labour Governs

Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or governs:

    Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Victims suggest innocence. And innocence, by the inexorable logic that governs all relational terms, suggests guilt.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
