Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “At all events there is in Brooklyn
    something that makes me feel at home.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    “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)

    “Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
    —Chinese proverb.
