Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or dean:

    You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If anything characterizes the cultural life of the seventies in America, it is an insistence on preventing failures of communication.
    —Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
