Famous quotes containing the words precious and/or metals:
“Each body has its art, its precious prescribed
Pose, that even in passions droll contortions, waltzes,
Or push of pain or when a grief has stabbed,
Or hatred hacked is its, and nothing elses.”

“As in digging for precious metals in the mines, much earthy rubbish has first to be troublesomely handled and thrown out; so, in digging in ones soul for the fine gold of genius, much dullness and common-place is first brought to light.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
