Famous quotes containing the words world, calendar and/or events:
“The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
“There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
