Famous quotes containing the words life and/or history:

    “I cannot live with You—
    It would be Life—
    And Life is over there—
    Behind the Shelf”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
