Year History

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or history:

    “It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
    At New Year and, from then until April, lay
    On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
    The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
    And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
