Famous quotes containing the words achievements and/or events:
“When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
