Famous quotes containing the words important and/or works:

    The most important American addition to the World Experience was the simple surprising fact of America. We have helped prepare mankind for all its later surprises.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
    Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)
