Famous quotes containing the words history and, history, notable and/or investments:

    “Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “In youth, love and art. In age, investments and antiques.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
