Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “All strange and terrible events are welcome,
    But comforts we despise.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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