Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
    Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
