Berlin/history

Famous quotes containing the words berlin and/or history:

“We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
