Pilgrims/history

Famous quotes containing the words pilgrims and/or history:

    Like pilgrims to th’appointed place we tend;
    The world’s an inn, and death the journey’s end.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
