Famous quotes containing the word events:

    All strange and terrible events are welcome,
    But comforts we despise.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
