Lamb/history

Famous quotes containing the words lamb and/or history:

“The lion shall never lie down with the lamb. The lion eternally shall devour the lamb, the lamb eternally shall be devoured. Man knows the great consummation in the flesh, the sensual ecstasy, and that is eternal. Also the spiritual ecstasy of unanimity, that is eternal. But the two are separate and never to be confused.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
