Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Quotes Quotes, Men Quotes, Hands Quotes

One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant.
