Famous quotes containing the words eras and/or reign:
“The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
