Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
“The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
