"I come from a country which has been fortunate in having less violence, bloodshed, and tyranny, and betrayal, and uprising, than most of the countries of Europe. Nevertheless, I feel that I have lived through as much history of the 20th century in Canada as should I have done in any other country." - Northrop Frye in a speech upon receiving an honorary doctorate at the University of Zagreb in Croatia in September 1990. Frye "was a Canadian literary critic and literary theorist, considered one of the most influential of the 20th century," (Wikipedia).
