Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    “In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
