Famous quotes containing the words selected, works, native and/or art:

    She was so overcome by the splendor of his achievement that she took him into the closet and selected a choice apple and delivered it to him, along with an improving lecture upon the added value and flavor a treat took to itself when it came without sin through virtuous effort. And while she closed with a Scriptural flourish, he “hooked” a doughnut.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

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

    The Iliad represents no creed nor opinion, and we read it with a rare sense of freedom and irresponsibility, as if we trod on native ground, and were autochthones of the soil.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Art never improves, but ... the material of art is never quite the same.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
