Famous quotes containing the words history and/or book:

    ... that there is no other way,
    That the history of creation proceeds according to
    Stringent laws, and that things
    Do get done in this way, but never the things
    We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
    To see come into being.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    My job as a reservationist was very routine, computerized ... I had no free will. I was just part of that stupid computer.
