Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “Since events are not metaphors, the literal-minded have a certain advantage in dealing with them.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “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)

    “Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
