Famous quotes containing the words forgotten and/or revolution:
“Let it be forgotten as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
