Famous quotes containing the words band and/or history:

“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
