Graves/history

Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or history:

    “Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
    Do not forget what flowers
    The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
    Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
    Her sea-blue eyes were wild
    But nothing promised that is not performed.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
