Whistle/history

Famous quotes containing the words whistle and/or history:

    Mother I longs to get married
    I longs to be a bride
    I longs to lay by that young man
    And close to by his side
    —Unknown. Whistle, Daughter, Whistle (l. 1–4)

    I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
