Fiddle/history

Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or history:

“It needs more skill than I can tell
To play the second fiddle well.”

“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
