Famous quotes containing the words block and/or leave:
“Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“What are you doing? Leave me alone!
Can’t you see I’m dreaming?
In a dream you are never eighty.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
