Famous quotes containing the words select, works, museum and/or collection:

    “We must select the Illusion which appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion, if we want to be happy.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)

    “To look at and properly appreciate the British Museum is the work of a lifetime.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “You know, many people believe that we archaeologists are just a collection of old fogies digging around in the ruins after old dried up skulls and bones.”
    —Griffin Jay, and Harold Young. Stephen Banning (Dick Foran)
