Text Quotes
Large newspapers are routinely censored by legal costs. It is time this stopped. It is time a country said, enough is enough, justice must be seen, history must be preserved, and we will give shelter from the storm  (History Quotes) The contents of someone’s bookcase are part of his history, like an ancestral portrait  (History Quotes) As far as we can look back into history, the downfall of any nation can be traced from the moment that nation became timid about spending its best blood  (History Quotes) Jake was close to tears. In that moment he saw the world in its true light, as a place where nothing had ever been any good and nothing of significance done: no art worth a second look, no philosophy of the slightest appositeness, no law but served the state, no history that gave an inkling of how it had been and what had happened. And no love, only egotism, infatuation and lust  (History Quotes) With the destruction of history, contemporary events themselves retreat into a remote and fabulous realm of unverifiable stories, uncheckable statistics, unlikely explanations and untenable reasoning  (History Quotes) 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  (History Quotes) And history s fingers never relax their grip, never leave us unmolested, can touch us even when we would never imagine their presence  (History Quotes) The community as a whole doesn’t listen patiently to critics who adopt alternative viewpoints. Although the great lesson of history is that knowledge develops through the conflict of viewpoints  (History Quotes) Perhaps we should all settle down and think about what’s good in the world and what we want to do here. If we find this planet and its history and its story to be sacred, let’s preserve and nourish it, and then we can go home at night and say whatever prayers we choose  (History Quotes) We will go down in history either as the world’s greatest statesmen or its worst villains  (History Quotes) The only important thing to realise about history is that it all took place in the last five minutes  (History Quotes) I turn to history not for lessons but to confront my experience with the experience of others and to win for myself a sense of responsibility for the state of the human conscience  (History Quotes) 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  (History Quotes) I came to realize that exaggerated concern about what others are doing can be foolish. It can paralyze effort, and stifle a good idea. One finds that in the history of science, almost every problem has been worked out by someone else. This should not discourage anyone from pursuing his own path  (History Quotes) Lenin is not comparable to any revolutionary figure in history. Revolutionaries have had ideals. Lenin has none  (History Quotes) The fate of a single man can be rich with significance, that of a few hundred less so, but the history of thousands and millions of men does not mean anything at all, in any adequate sense of the word  (History Quotes) In history and in life one sometimes seems to glimpse a ferocious law which states: to he that has, will be given; from he that has not, will be taken away  (History Quotes) To know the history of science is to recognize the mortality of any claim to universal truth  (History Quotes) As a matter of history great developments in art have often been remarkably separate from religious motivation and use  (History Quotes) At each epoch of history the world was in a hopeless state, and at each epoch of history the world muddled through; at each epoch the world was lost, and at each epoch it was saved  (History Quotes) History is a novel which did take place; a novel is history that could take place  (History Quotes) No one can be certain where a nation which spans two continents, whose history begins in the faint traces of early civilization, a nation now struggling to find a new and valid philosophy of existence, will be propelled by the transcendental forces of the nuclear age  (History Quotes) What makes a good writer of history is a guy who is suspicious. Suspicion marks the real difference between the man who wants to write honest history and the one who’d rather write a good story  (History Quotes) Truth is a totality, the sum of many overlapping partial images. History, on the other hand, sacrifices totality in the interest of continuity  (History Quotes) The history of institutions is often a history of deception and illusions; for their virtue depends on the ideas that produce and on the spirit that preserves them, and the form may remain unaltered when the substance has passed away  (History Quotes) The tragedy of film history is that it is fabricated, falsified, by the very people who make film history  (History Quotes) One of the strangest catastrophes that is in any history. A great king, with strong armies and mighty fleets, a great treasure and powerful allies, fell all at once, and his whole strength, like a spider’s web, was... irrecoverably broken at a touch  (History Quotes) The desire to be and have a sister is a primitive and profound one that may have everything or nothing to do with the family a woman is born to. It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams  (History Quotes) A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us  (History Quotes) The camera has an interest in turning history into spectacle, but none in reversing the process. At best, the picture leaves a vague blur in the observer’s mind; strong enough to send him into battle perhaps, but not to have him understand why he is going  (History Quotes)
