Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “These anyway might think it was important
    That human history should not be shortened.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “... that there is no other way,
    That the history of creation proceeds according to
    Stringent laws, and that things
    Do get done in this way, but never the things
    We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
    To see come into being.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
