Famous quotes containing the word works:

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“I divide all literary works into two categories: Those I like and those I don’t like. No other criterion exists for me.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Evil is something you recognise immediately you see it: it works through charm.”
—Brian Masters (b. 1939)
