Famous quotes containing the words special and/or events:

    “And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
    The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
