History Book

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or book:

“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)

“A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there—that of the pulse, the heart beat.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
