Speaking Events

Famous quotes containing the words speaking and/or events:

“If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love’s sake only. Do not say
“I love her for her smile—her look—her way
Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day”—”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

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