Famous quotes containing the words dates and/or ranks:

    “We do NOT know the past in chronological sequence. It may be convenient to lay it out anesthetized on the table with dates pasted on here and there, but what we know we know by ripples and spirals eddying out from us and from our own time.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty.”
    —Konstantin Stanislavsky (1863–1938)
