Famous quotes containing the words main and/or works:

    “The main question raised by the thriller is not what kind of world we live in, or what reality is like, but what it has done to us.”
    —Ralph Harper (b. 1915)

    “His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
