Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “All the events which make the annals of the nations are but the shadows of our private experiences.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape ... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.”
    —Marilyn French (b. 1929)
