And many strokes, though with a little axe, hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak Picture Quote #1

Ghostly above us in lamplight the towers gleam... and after a while they will fall to dust and rain; or else we will tear them down with impatient hands; and hew rock out of the earth, and build them again Picture Quote #1

In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it Picture Quote #1

Language pedants hew to an oral tradition of shibboleths that have no basis in logic or style, that have been defied by great writers for centuries, and that have been disavowed by every thoughtful usage manual Picture Quote #1

It’s a writer’s job to carve with language, to hew close to the bone Picture Quote #1

My objective is and has been for years to make the lightest and most compact flying machine that would carry me at 25 or 30 miles per hour for 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour. Current events show this is not at all an ambitious project. Want of an elementary knowledge of oil machines baulks me and causes much misdirected effort. I doubt my ability to acquire that knowledge, and feel like a fireman trying to hew out a donkey pump Picture Quote #1

God, to prevent all escape, hath sown the seeds of death in our very constitution and nature, so that we can as soon run from ourselves, as run from death. We need no feller to come with a hand of violence and hew us down; there is in the tree a worm, which grows out of its own substance, that will destroy it; so in us, those infirmities of nature that will bring us down to the dust Picture Quote #1

Most people hew the battlements of life from compromise, erecting their impregnable keeps from judicious submissions, fabricating their philosophical drawbridges from emotional retractions and scalding marauders in the boiling oil of sour grapes Picture Quote #1

Now, I stand alone on this rock, fighting the errors of this world, and establish the science of life by my works. What is my mode of warfare? With the axe of truth I strike at the root of every tree of error and hew it down, so that there shall not be one error in man showing itself in the form of disease Picture Quote #1

Her face so faire, as flesh it seemed not, but heavenly pourtraict of bright angels' hew, cleare as the skye withouten blame or blot, through goodly mixture of complexion's dew Picture Quote #1

Revolutions hew the past to pieces and cast it into a cauldron, but what has emerged is the old Aeson with a new visage Picture Quote #1

Scarce can I speak, my choler is so great. Oh! I could hew up rocks, and fight with flint Picture Quote #1

The trenchant blade, toledo trusty, for want of fighting was grown rusty, and ate into itself, for lack of somebody to hew and hack Picture Quote #1
