Famous quotes containing the word history:

“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)

“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
