Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance.”
    —Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)

    “Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

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