Famous quotes containing the words partial, production and/or history:

    “We were soon in the smooth water of the Quakish Lake,... and we had our first, but a partial view of Ktaadn, its summit veiled in clouds, like a dark isthmus in that quarter, connecting the heavens with the earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
    —Henry Ford (1863–1947)
