Historically Significant

Famous quotes containing the words historically and/or significant:

    Thus, historically viewed, it has been the office of art to educate the perception of beauty. We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Priests and physicians should never look one another in the face. They have no common ground, nor is there any to mediate between them. When the one comes, the other goes. They could not come together without laughter, or a significant silence, for the one’s profession is a satire on the other’s, and either’s success would be the other’s failure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
