Famous quotes containing the words general, history, ancient and/or rome:

    “‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
    —David Pears (b. 1921)

    “This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
    —Titus Livius (Livy)

    “If I can catch him once upon the hip,
    I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “This very Rome that we behold deserves our love ...: the only common and universal city.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
