Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or people:

    Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    With a binding like you’ve got, people are gonna want to know what’s in the book.
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
