History Book

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or book:

“Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.”

“The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.”
