Famous quotes containing the words historically and/or important:

    “Contact with men who wield power and authority still leaves an intangible sense of repulsion. It’s very like being in close proximity to faecal matter, the faecal embodiment of something unmentionable, and you wonder what it is made of and when it acquired its historically sacred character.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Sabra Cravat: I should think you’d be ashamed of yourself. Mooning around with an Indian hired girl.
    Cim Cravat: Ruby isn’t an Indian hired girl. She’s the daughter of an Osage chief.
    Sabra Cravat: Osage, fiddlesticks.
    Cim Cravat: She’s just as important in the Osage nation as, well, as Alice Roosevelt is in Washington.”
    —Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
