Famous quotes containing the words early and/or history:

    “Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
    —Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
