Famous quotes containing the words history of, history and/or theory:

“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

“A theory if you hold it hard enough
And long enough gets rated as a creed....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
