Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “... that there is no other way,
    That the history of creation proceeds according to
    Stringent laws, and that things
    Do get done in this way, but never the things
    We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
    To see come into being.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
