Henry Crimmel/glassmaking - The Later Years

Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or years:

    The memory loaded with mere bookwork is not the thing wanted—is, in fact, rather worse than useless—in the teacher of scientific subjects. It is absolutely essential that his mind should be full of knowledge and not of mere learning, and that what he knows should have been learned in the laboratory rather than in the library.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Though her years were waning,
    Her climacteric teased her like her teens.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
