Famous quotes containing the words major and/or peaks:
“That is my major preoccupation—memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum.
