Incense/history

Famous quotes containing the words incense and/or history:

    “Here the sausage and garlic booth
    Sent unholy incense skyward;
    There a quivering female-thing
    Gestured assignations, and lied
    To call it dancing;”
    —Anne Spencer (1882–1975)

    “I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
