Famous quotes containing the words sat and/or history:
“The man who has stood on the Acropolis,
And looked down over Attica; or he
Who has sailed where picturesque Constantinople is,
Or seen Timbuctoo, or hath taken tea
In small-eyed Chinas crockery-ware metropolis,
Or sat amidst the bricks of Nineveh,
May not think much of Londons first appearance
But ask him what he thinks of it a year hence!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
