Kiss/history

Famous quotes containing the words kiss and/or history:

“I am devoted to those who endured, like Colette. It is easier ... to kiss the world a bitter goodbye than to go on working, writing, changing, enduring the slings & arrows of outrageous aging. Colette endured. And she wrote & wrote & wrote. Whenever I feel really depressed, I think of her & keep going.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)

“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
