Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
    —Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)

    “The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
