Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
    —John Adams (1735–1826)
