Famous quotes containing the word events:
“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
