Famous quotes containing the words history and, history and/or development:

    “There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
    —Umberto Eco (b. 1932)

    “History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)

    “The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
