Famous quotes containing the words command and/or history:

    If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 4:3.

    Tempter to Jesus.

    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)
