Ring History

Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or history:

“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
