Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:

    A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    As I look at the human story I see two stories. They run parallel and never meet. One is of people who live, as they can or must, the events that arrive; the other is of people who live, as they intend, the events they create.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
