Famous quotes containing the words version and/or comparison:
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)

—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
