Famous quotes containing the word history:

    History takes time.... History makes memory.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.
    Henry James (1843–1916)
