Famous quotes containing the word history:

It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”

“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)
