Famous quotes containing the word events:

    Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.
    Chinese proverb.

    Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.
    William James (1842–1910)
