Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

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

    “The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
