History Book

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or book:

“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)

“Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
