Famous quotes containing the words fundamental and/or sequence:

    “I believe the declaration that “all men are created equal” is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
