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

    “We hear the haunting presentiment of a dutiful middle age in the current reluctance of young people to select any option except the one they feel will impinge upon them the least.”
    —Gail Sheehy (b. 1937)

    “We thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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

    “It’s rather grisly, isnt it, how soon a living man becomes nothing more than a collection of stocks and bonds and debts and real estate?”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
