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)

    “I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.”
    —J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)

    “The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
