Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
    —Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)

    “We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
