Famous quotes containing the words main and/or works:

    “I had one life. And what did I do? Wasted it in some palooka preliminaries in Spain, just before Hitler and Chamberlain warm up for the main event.”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    “Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
    For scholars and for poets after us,
    Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
    A dance-like glory that those walls begot.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
