Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The custard is setting; meanwhile
    I not only have my own history to worry about
    But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
    Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
    Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
