Famous quotes containing the words time, periods and/or represented:

    “I’ll so offend to make offence a skill,
    Redeeming time when men least think I will.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It has no future but itself—
    Its infinite contain
    Its past—enlightened to perceive
    New periods of pain.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “If the underdog were always right, one might quite easily try to defend him. The trouble is that very often he is but obscurely right, sometimes only partially right, and often quite wrong; but perhaps he is never so altogether wrong and pig-headed and utterly reprehensible as he is represented to be by those who add the possession of prejudices to the other almost insuperable difficulties of understanding him.”
    —Jane Addams (1860–1935)
