Sea/history

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or history:

“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
