Famous quotes containing the words the past and/or festivals:
“Only the rich remember the past,
The strawberries once in the Apennines,
Philadelphia that the spiders ate.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
