Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “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)
