Famous quotes containing the words hip, hop and/or history:

    “He’s a man who shoots from the hip. And a man who’s hip when he shoots.”
    —Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Banquet master of ceremonies (Pat Harrington, Jr.)

    “I have tried being surreal, but my frogs hop right back into their realistic ponds.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
