Famous quotes containing the words title and/or history:

    “In Goya’s greatest scenes we seem to see
    the people of the world
    exactly at the moment when
    they first attained the title of
    ‘suffering humanity’”
    —Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)

    “the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
    —Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
