Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    “There is no history of how bad became better.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
