Famous quotes containing the words select, works, museum and/or collection:

    “Here lies the body of Sir John Guise.
    Nobody laughs, and nobody cries;
    Where his soul is and how it fares
    Nobody knows and nobody cares.”
    —Anonymous. From Frobisher’s New Select Collection of Epitaphs (c. 1791)

    “A creative writer must study carefully the works of his rivals, including the Almighty. He must possess the inborn capacity not only of recombining but of re-creating the given world. In order to do this adequately, avoiding duplication of labor, the artist should know the given world.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “A fine-looking mill, but no machinery inside.”
    —Hawaiian saying no. 1702, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)

    “You know, many people believe that we archaeologists are just a collection of old fogies digging around in the ruins after old dried up skulls and bones.”
