Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or taylor:

    You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones, you must keep them wet.
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
