Famous quotes containing the words waste and/or materials:
“The waste of moments sleeping,
The waste of pleasure weeping,
By denying and ignoring
The waste of nations warring.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
