Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or events:

    “Time that scatters hair upon a head
    Spreads the ice sheet on the shaven lawn;
    Signing an annual permit for the frost....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
