Famous quotes containing the word history:

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

    “This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
    —Titus Livius (Livy)

    “There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
