Famous quotes containing the words derived and/or events:
“All moral discipline, all moral perfection derived from the soul of literature.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
