Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or situation:

    In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.
    George Grosz (1893–1959)

    You can’t stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.
    Mike Tyson (b. 1966)
