Famous quotes containing the word events:

    Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.
    Chinese proverb.

    The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    At all events there is in Brooklyn
    something that makes me feel at home.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
