—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
