«Anxiety is the poison of human life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries.

«One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.»
«To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life»

«ABRIDGE, v.t. To shorten.When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for people to abridge their king, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. --Oliver Cromwell»
«A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.»
