—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
