Famous quotes containing the word history:

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

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

    “To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
