Historical Time

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or time:

“Religion means goal and way, politics implies end and means. The political end is recognizable by the fact that it may be attained—in success—and its attainment is historically recorded. The religious goal remains, even in man’s highest experiences, that which simply provides direction on the mortal way; it never enters into historical consummation.”
—Martin Buber (1878–1965)

“And in the mean time my songs will travel,
And the devirginated young ladies will enjoy them
when they have got over the strangeness,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
