Histories Quotes

Everything, in retrospect, is obvious. But if everything were obvious, authors of histories of financial folly would be rich Picture Quote #1

Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood Picture Quote #1

Do you really believe... that everything historians tell us about men – or about women – is actually true? You ought to consider the fact that these histories have been written by men, who never tell the truth except by accident Picture Quote #1

None of the miracles with which ancient histories are filled, occurred under scientific conditions. Observation never once contradicted, teaches us that miracles occur only in periods and countries in which they are believed in and before persons disposed to believe in them Picture Quote #1

Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their families, their histories too. Talk to them, listen to them. They are alive poems Picture Quote #1

Admittedly, key archival documentation remains under lock and key and will be inaccessible for a long time to come. But enough material is available, in the form of declassified documents, memoirs, oral histories and journalistic treatments, to begin to piece together the story Picture Quote #1

People say it’s not what happens in your life that matters, it’s what you think happened. But this qualification, obviously, did not go far enough. It was quite possible that the central event of your life could be something that didn’t happen, or something you thought didn’t happen. Otherwise there’d be no need for fiction, there’d only be memoirs and histories Picture Quote #1

Cinema is consistently making a claim to particular memories, histories, ways of life, identities, and values that always presuppose some notion of difference, community, and the future. Given that films both reflect and shape public culture, they cannot be defined exclusively through a notion of artistic freedom and autonomy that removes them from any form of critical accountability Picture Quote #1

The reflections and histories of men and women throughout the world are contained in books... America’s greatness is not only recorded in books, but it is also dependent upon each and every citizen being able to utilize public libraries Picture Quote #1

Teaching is a sacred art. This is why the noblest druid is not the one who conjures fires and smoke but the one who brings the news and passes on the histories. The teacher, the bard, the singer of tales is a freer of men’s minds and bodies, especially when he roams without allegiance to one chieftain or another. But he is also a danger to the masters if he insists upon telling the truth. The truth will inevitably cause tremors in those who cling to power without honoring justice Picture Quote #1

Ritual is important to us as human beings. It ties us to our traditions and our histories Picture Quote #1

It is immature and lazy to imagine we know everything there is to know about someone before we know that someone. We don’t know their stories, their histories, their real live human feelings. We don’t know their favorite movies and best memories and what makes them afraid. It is unfair to take one fact, one thing they’ve said or we heard they said, or one thing they wrote, or someone else’s experience, or a group they identify with and make a character sketch. If people did that to us, the picture would be so woefully incomplete, we wouldn’t even recognize our own description Picture Quote #1

It is important to know the stories and histories of things, even if all we know is that we don’t know Picture Quote #1

I could never figure out why photography and art had separate histories. So I decided to explore both Picture Quote #1

Having read the histories of other countries, I saw that expansion was everything, and that the world’s surface being limited, the great object of present humanity should be to take as much of the world as it possibly could Picture Quote #1

The social disease of political correctness has entered daily life, inverting good to bad and attempting to rewrite proud histories as an imposition of white supremacy for which we all should make contrition Picture Quote #1

Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child’s relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don’t know as much as we think we know Picture Quote #1

There are two histories : official history, lying, and then secret history, where you find the real causes of events Picture Quote #1

Je ne crois que les histoires don’t les te moins se feraient e gorger. I only believe in histories told by witnesses who would have had their throats slit Picture Quote #1

I personally believe that the writing of personal and family histories will do more to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers and the fathers to children than almost anything we can do Picture Quote #1

The only good histories are those that have been written by the persons themselves who commanded in the affairs whereof they write Picture Quote #1

The first sparrow of spring! The year beginning with younger hope than ever!... What at such a time are histories, chronologies, traditions, and all written revelations? The brooks sing carols and glees to the spring Picture Quote #1

Forty is... an age at which people have histories and options. At thirty, they had perhaps less history. At fifty, perhaps fewer options Picture Quote #1

History is always written by the victor, and the histories of the losing parties belong to the shrinking circle of those who were there Picture Quote #1

Whether histories have a happy ending or not depends on when the chronicler ends the tale Picture Quote #1

The histories of vampires and people are not so different, really. How many of us can honestly see our own reflection? Picture Quote #1

There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life. And one of these is the history of political power. This is elevated into the history of the world Picture Quote #1

All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shriveled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut Picture Quote #1

The only good histories are those written by those who had command in the events they describe Picture Quote #1

If we could read the past histories of all our enemies we would disregard all hostility for them Picture Quote #1
