Famous quotes containing the word history:

“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it.

—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
