Raid/history

Famous quotes containing the words raid and/or history:

    Each venture
    Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
    With shabby equipment always deteriorating
    In the general mess of imprecision of feeling.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.
