Famous quotes containing the word zweig:

    “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)

    “Fate is never too generous—even to its favorites. Rarely do the gods grant a mortal more than one immortal deed.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
