Famous quotes containing the words calendar and/or history:
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
