Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:

    “Let’s just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers. So having a baby wasn’t just having a baby. It became a major healing.”
    —Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

    “It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
