Famous quotes containing the words fact and/or feats:
“Thanks to recent trends in the theory of knowledge, history is now better aware of its own worth and unassailability than it formerly was. It is precisely in its inexact character, in the fact that it can never be normative and does not have to be, that its security lies.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
