Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.”

—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
