Famous quotes containing the word recognition:

    —William Stott (b. 1940)

    “Tragedy, as you know, is always a fait accompli, whereas terror always has to do with anticipation, with man’s recognition of his own negative potential—with his sense of what he is capable of.”
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    “The recognition of Russia on November 16, 1933, started forces which were to have considerable influence in the attempt to collectivize the United States.”
