Historical Sun Tzu

Famous quotes containing the words historical, sun and/or tzu:

    We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.
    Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    I have, as when the sun doth light a storm,
    Buried this sigh in wrinkle of a smile;
    But sorrow that is couched in seeming gladness
    Is like that mirth fate turns to sudden sadness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths, it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce.
    —Sun Tzu (6–5th century B.C.)
