Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or materials:

“the raw material of poetry in

genuine, you are interested in poetry.”

“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary....

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
