Famous quotes containing the word history:

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

    “The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    “As I am, so shall I associate, and so shall I act; Caesar’s history will paint out Caesar.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
