Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
