Famous quotes containing the words living and/or history:
“I can imagine living without food. I cannot imagine living without books.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
