Famous quotes containing the words command and/or history:

    “I, who should command a regiment,
    Do amble amiably here, O God,
    One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”
    —Norman Cameron (b. 1905)

    “To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
