True Histories

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or histories:

    The use of arms is ownership
    Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
    Victory that is not hinted at in “Das Kapital.”
    I think there is never but one true war
    So let us as you desire perfect our trade.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, “the sweet seriousness of sixteen,” the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,—we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
