Small Block

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or block:

Once, and just so small as I?

Out of Heaven, and just like me?”

“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.”
