Famous quotes containing the words change and/or era:
“We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.”
—Tony Benn (b. 1925)
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
