Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
