Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
    —Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    “We thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
