Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
    —Chinese proverb.
