Famous quotes containing the word events:
“On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”

“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
