Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
    —Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)

    “The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
