Famous quotes containing the word construction:

    “No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face:
    He was a gentleman on whom I built
    An absolute trust.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face.”
