Famous quotes containing the word history:

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

    “In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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