Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
