Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or history:

    “The traditional disputes of philosophers are, for the most part, as unwarranted as they are unfruitful.”
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)

    “The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
