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)
“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)
