Famous quotes containing the words notable, persons and/or history:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “We are persons of quality, I assure you, and women of fashion, and come to see and to be seen.”
    —Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)

    “It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
    —John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
