Famous quotes containing the word works:

    In saying what is obvious, never choose cunning. Yelling works better.
    Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)

    Evil is something you recognise immediately you see it: it works through charm.
    Brian Masters (b. 1939)

    Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
