Dungeon/history

Famous quotes containing the words dungeon and/or history:

    “An exile, saddest of all prisoners,
    Who has the whole world for a dungeon strong,
    Seas, mountains, and the horizon’s verge for bars.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
