Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:

    “What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
    —Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

    “There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
