Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “False history gets made all day, any day,
    the truth of the new is never on the news
    False history gets written every day
    ...
    the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
    sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
    asking the clay all questions but her own.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
