Famous quotes containing the words works and/or published:
“Evil is something you recognise immediately you see it: it works through charm.”
—Brian Masters (b. 1939)
“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
