Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “Men seem anxious to accomplish an orderly retreat through the centuries, earnestly rebuilding the works behind them, as they are battered down by the encroachments of time; but while they loiter, they and their works both fall prey to the arch enemy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
