Graves/history

Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or history:

    never dare entrust them to a safe
    For fear they burn a hole through two-foot steel.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.
    William James (1842–1910)
