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

Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
