Famous quotes containing the word history:

    I saw the Arab map.

    dragging its history like saddlebags,
    nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.

    No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
    Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)
