Famous quotes containing the word history:

    History takes time.... History makes memory.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
