Famous quotes containing the word history:
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
