Famous quotes containing the words sharp and/or history:
“Freedom is like a man who kills himself
Each night, an incessant butcher, whose knife
Grows sharp in blood.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
