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 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)

    “On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
