Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or center:
“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call history by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Whenever theres a big war coming on, you should rope off a big field. And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put em in the center dressed in their underpants and let them fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.”
—Maxwell Anderson (18881959)
