Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or figures:

    We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
    Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
