Famous quotes containing the word history:

    ““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “You that would judge me do not judge alone
    This book or that, come to this hallowed place
    Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
    Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
    Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
    And say my glory was I had such friends.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
