Block Nos

Famous quotes containing the words block and/or nos:

    Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Eten and drounken and maden hem glad;
    —Unknown. Ubi Sunt Qui ante Nos Fuerunt? (L. 7)
