Famous quotes containing the words version and/or history:
“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
