Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within.

—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
