Famous quotes containing the words masterpiece and/or brothers:

    A masterpiece is ... something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it’s there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    Last night I watched my brothers play,
    The gentle and the reckless one,
    In a field two yards away.
    For half a century they were gone
    Beyond the other side of care
    To be among the peaceful dead.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
