Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
    —Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
