Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
    —Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)

    “The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
