Famous quotes containing the word august:

    “Ancient of days! august Athena! where,
    Where are thy men of might? thy grand in soul?
    Gone—glimmering through the dream of things that were.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.”
    —Joan Didion (b. 1935)

    “I dream, therefore I exist.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
