Bible
“And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee; / The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, / And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, / And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot, / And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office, / And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.”
“When the bricks are engraved on site, the engraver has to clean the brick, then glue the stencil and wait for it to dry. Then he sandblasts the name and then he has to get the stencil up, clean the glue up and then clean up the mess from the sandblasting.”
Davis Newman
“He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.”

“An injury engraves itself on metal; a benefit is written on the waves”

“The greatest book is not the one whose message engraves itself on the brain, but the one whose vital impact opens up other viewpoints, and from writer to reader spreads the fire that is fed by various essences, until it becomes a great conflagration”
Romain Rolland
