Famous quotes containing the word history:

    All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
