Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or works:

    “The final flat of the hoe’s approval stamp
    Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
