Xiao Zhaoye - Era Name

Famous quotes containing the word era:

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)

“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
