Famous quotes containing the words unusual and/or events:

    “As a result of a general defect of nature, we are either more confident or more fearful of unusual and unknown things.”
    —Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)

    “By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
