Works Set

Famous quotes containing the words works and/or set:

“Now they express
All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
All actions done in patient hopelessness,
All that ignores the silences of death,
Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
All that grows old,
Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“This is God’s country—Why set it on fire and make it look like hell?”
—For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
