Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “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)

    “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)
