Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalms 107:23-24.

    “Night and Day ‘ve been tampered with,
    Every quality and pith
    Surcharged and sultry with a power
    That works its will on age and hour.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We all agree now—by “we” I mean intelligent people under sixty—that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Unluckily, the matter does not end there: a rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.”
    —Clive Bell (1881–1962)
