Famous quotes containing the words life and/or history:

    Negro history must be studied, not only because it is the history of over 19 millions, but American life as a whole cannot be understood without knowing it.
    Dorothy Allen Conley (b. 1904)

    When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?
    David Hume (1711–1776)
