Famous quotes containing the words band and/or history:

    “And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

    “What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
    —Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
