Famous quotes containing the words blasts and/or occurred:
“They that stand high have many blasts to shake them,
And if they fall, they dash themselves to pieces.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)
