Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or works:
“The final flat of the hoes approval stamp
Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (18761959)
