Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
    —Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

    “I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
