Famous quotes containing the words durst and/or history:

    Desponding Phyllis was endu’d
    With ev’ry Talent of a Prude,

    If o’er against her you were plac’d
    She durst not look above your Waist;
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.
