Famous quotes containing the words anticipated and/or events:

    “He who rejoices even at the stake triumphs not over pain but over the absence of pain where he had anticipated feeling it. A parable.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
