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)

    “Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.”
    —Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)

    “It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
    —John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
