Pennington Completed Long

Famous quotes containing the words completed and/or long:

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“How long she stayed I cannot tell;
But when she felt this perfidy,
She marched across the floor of hell;
And all the damned stood up to see.”
—John Davidson (1857–1909)
