Famous quotes containing the word history:

—Aristotle (384323 B.C.)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (18431916)
“Like their personal lives, womens history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
