Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “All the events which make the annals of the nations are but the shadows of our private experiences.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “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)
