Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or sound:
“Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He is said to have been the last Red Man
In Acton. And the Miller is said to have laughed
If you like to call such a sound a laugh.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
