Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
    —Henry James (1843–1916)
