Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
