Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or works:
“For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Evil is something you recognise immediately you see it: it works through charm.”
—Brian Masters (b. 1939)
