Famous quotes containing the words ism and/or events:
“Grandpa: Penny, why don’t you write a play about ism-mania?
Penny: Ism-mania?
Grandpa: Yeah, sure. You know, communism, fascism, voodooism. Everybody’s got an ism these days.
Penny: It sounds like an itch or something.
Grandpa: It’s just as catching. When things go a little bad these days, you go out and get yourself an ism and you’re in business.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
