Organizing/history

Famous quotes containing the words organizing and/or history:

    “The lies fall like flaxen threads from the skies
    All over America, and the fact that some of them are true of course
    Doesn’t so much not matter as serve to justify
    The whole mad organizing force under the billows of correct delight.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
