Famous quotes containing the words history of, history, classical and/or studies:

    “I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    “... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “Several classical sayings that one likes to repeat had quite a different meaning from the ones later times attributed to them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Even if one studies to an old age, one will never finish learning.”
    —Chinese proverb.
