“The great event of the evening was Jenny Lind's appearance and her complete triumph. She has a most exquisite, powerful and really quite peculiar voice, so round, soft and flexible and her acting is charming and touching and very natural.” VoiceNaturalPowerfulActingEventsRoundsAppearanceEveningTriumphCharmTouchingPeculiarCharmingFlexibleExquisiteJennyGreat Events Author:Queen Victoria
“How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: The Renaissance pencilled in for right after the Dark Ages. The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Post-Modern Era, then The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished.” FeelsYearsWarBigsAgeNextDarkFourModernEventsInformationRevolutionTasksWaveAppearanceFinishedChecksErasPostsThirtyApocalypseNext YearEarthquakesDark AgesRenaissanceFamineThirty YearsIndustrial RevolutionPlannersInformation AgePestilenceHorsemenTidal WavesBig EventsModern EraCameosFour HorsemenFour Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Author:Chuck Palahniuk
“Of all studies, the most delightful and the most useful is biography. The seeds of great events lie near the surface; historians delve too deep for them. No history was ever true. Lives I have read which, if they were not, had the appearance, the interest, and the utility of truth.” IfsLyingInterestStudyEventsAppearanceSurfaceSeedsHistorianBiographiesDelightfulUtilityTrue LifeToo DeepGreat Events Book:The works of Walter Savage Landor [ed. by J.

“The designation of the locality in one excludes the appearances narrated by the rest; the determination of time in another leaves no space for the narratives of his fellow-evangelists; the enumeration of a third is given without any regard to the events reported by his predecessors; lastly, among several appearances recounted by various narrators, each claims to be the last, and yet has nothing in common with the others. Hence nothing but wilful blindness can prevent the perception that no one of the narrators knew and presupposed what another records.” LastsGivenSpaceCommonRecordsAtheismEventsPerceptionDeterminationThirdsClaimsRegardFellowsVariousAppearancePositive AtheismNarrativeBlindnessPredecessorsNarratorsEvangelistsLocalityDesignation Author:David Friedrich Strauss
