Rhyme/history

Famous quotes containing the words rhyme and/or history:

“Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
All that was said in Ireland is a lie
Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
