Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “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)

    “There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
