Famous quotes containing the word history:

—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
