Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
    —Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

    “The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
    —Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)

    “Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
