Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “To receive applause for works which do not demand all our powers hinders our advance towards a perfecting of our spirit. It usually means that thereafter we stand still.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “That man’s best works should be such bungling imitations of Nature’s infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
