Start Event

Famous quotes containing the words start and/or event:

“Do we write books so that they shall merely be read? Don’t we also write them for employment in the household? For one that is read from start to finish, thousands are leafed through, other thousands lie motionless, others are jammed against mouseholes, thrown at rats, others are stood on, sat on, drummed on, have gingerbread baked on them or are used to light pipes.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)

“Found a family, build a state,
The pledged event is still the same:
Matter in end will never abate
His ancient brutal claim.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
