Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or works:

    “The final flat of the hoe’s approval stamp
    Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “That man’s best works should be such bungling imitations of Nature’s infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
