Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “The phenomenon of nature is more splendid than the daily events of nature, certainly, so then the twentieth century is splendid.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “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)
