Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”

    “The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
