Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or alley:
“Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the mind there is a thin alley called death
and I move through it as
through water.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
