Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “As I look at the human story I see two stories. They run parallel and never meet. One is of people who live, as they can or must, the events that arrive; the other is of people who live, as they intend, the events they create.”
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    “Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
