Famous quotes containing the word history:

“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
