Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
