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)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
