You don’t want to trash what you’ve done; that’s your history Picture Quote #1

There are two kinds of man: the ones who make history and the ones who endure it Picture Quote #1

The greatest country in the history of the world being attacked. So all of this doesn’t mean very much today Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to go down in history as a man who allowed blood to be shed Picture Quote #1

A poet in history is divine, but a poet in the next room is a joke Picture Quote #1

I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history Picture Quote #1

Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph Picture Quote #1

On the day when man told the story of his life to man, history was born Picture Quote #1

The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation Picture Quote #1

In the life of each of us, I said to myself, there is a place remote and islanded, and given to endless regret or secret happiness; we are each the uncompanioned hermit and recluse of an hour or a day; we understand our fellows of the cell to whatever age of history they may belong Picture Quote #1

Change is the process by which the future invades our lives, and it is important to look at it closely, not merely from the grand perspectives of history, but also from the vantage point of the living, breathing individuals who experience it Picture Quote #1

There are good people who are dealt a bad hand by fate, and bad people who live long, comfortable, privileged lives. A small twist of fate can save or end a life; random chance is a permanent, powerful player in each of our lives, and in human history as well Picture Quote #1

History offers us vicarious experience. It allows the youngest student to possess the ground equally with his elders; without a knowledge of history to give him a context for present events, he is at the mercy of every social misdiagnosis handed to him Picture Quote #1

My argument is that history is made by men and women, just as it can also be unmade and rewritten, always with various silence and elisions, always with shapes imposed and disfigurements tolerated Picture Quote #1

For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it Picture Quote #1

History is a novel that has been lived, a novel is history that could have been Picture Quote #1

People say you’re born innocent, but it’s not true. You inherit all kinds of things that you can do nothing about. You inherit your identity, your history, like a birthmark that you can’t wash off... We are born with our heads turned back, but my mother says we have to face into the future now. You have to earn your own innocence, she says. You have to grow up and become innocent Picture Quote #1

The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a matter of perspective: it all depends on the observer and the verdict of history Picture Quote #1

Sleep was the greatest invention in the history of mankind. When I was sleeping, I wasn’t feeling guilty, or miserable, or sad Picture Quote #1

You could grow up in the city where history was made and still miss it all Picture Quote #1

Universal access to human knowledge is in our grasp, for the first time in the history of the world. This is not a bad thing Picture Quote #1

A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one Picture Quote #1

Don’t let them make you doubt yourself. All the greatest visionaries in history have been told they were insane at some point Picture Quote #1

You have a unique body and mind, with a particular history and conditioning. No one can offer you a formula for navigating all situations and all states of mind. Only by listening inwardly in a fresh and open way will you discern at any given time what most serves your healing and freedom Picture Quote #1

No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free Picture Quote #1

Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. And while it is true that literature and history contain heroic, romantic, glorious, even triumphant episodes in an exile’s life, these are no more than efforts meant to overcome the crippling sorrow of estrangement Picture Quote #1

I identify myself in language, but only by losing myself in it like an object. What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming Picture Quote #1

You must remember what you are and what you have chosen to become, and the significance of what you are doing. There are wars and defeats and victories of the human race that are not military and that are not recorded in the annals of history. Remember that while you’re trying to decide what to do Picture Quote #1

Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time Picture Quote #1
