Famous quotes containing the words change and/or ringing:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Not in vain the distance beacons. Forward let us range,
Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of
change.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
