Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me.

—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
