Famous quotes containing the word history:

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day

the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards shes piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
