Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)

    “I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “History takes time.... History makes memory.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
