Famous quotes containing the words title and/or history:
“In Goyas greatest scenes we seem to see
the people of the world
exactly at the moment when
they first attained the title of
suffering humanity”
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (18881959)
