Sat/history

Famous quotes containing the words sat and/or history:

    They sat together halfway up a cliff
    In a small niche let into it, the girl
    Brightly, as if a star played on the place,
    Paul darkly, like her shadow.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
