History Quotes

I confidently predict the collapse of capitalism and the beginning of history. Something will go wrong in the machinery that converts money into money, the banking system will collapse totally, and we will be left having to barter to stay alive. Those who can dig in their garden will have a better chance than the rest. I’ll be all right; I’ve got a few veg Picture Quote #1

The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present Picture Quote #1

Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason Picture Quote #1

The history of an oppressed people is hidden in the lies and the agreed myth of its conquerors Picture Quote #1

However gradual the course of history, there must always be the day, even an hour and minute, when some significant action is performed for the first or last time Picture Quote #1

If the day should ever come when we must go, if some day we are compelled to leave the scene of history, we will slam the door so hard that the universe will shake and mankind will stand back in stupefaction 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

How ironic for peacemaking efforts to discover that hatred is stronger for many than love; that the longing to achieve power through military victories makes so many men lose their reason, forget all shame, and betray history Picture Quote #1

Fraud and deceit have been practiced since the beginning of history... Brass has been called gold; glass has been sold as diamonds; and poison has been hawked as excellent food. The story of fraud throughout the ages forms an ugly chapter of human history Picture Quote #1

Omit a few of the most abstruse sciences, and mankind’s study of man occupies nearly the whole field of literature. The burden of history is what man has been; of law, what he does; of physiology, what he is; of ethics, what he ought to be; of revelation, what he shall be Picture Quote #1

Any time you write history, you insert your opinion. You pick and choose what you are going to write about. I feel really happy not inserting myself. I spend too much of my life inserting myself. It’s just great to let other people carry the narrative Picture Quote #1

I was living in a terrible time when people were being accused of being communists, and they attacked the movie industry, especially the writers. People couldn’t work if they were on the blacklist. The studios banned them. It was the most onerous period in movie history. I don’t think we have ever had a period so dark as that Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been intrigued by the way history works, the way we decide what is mentioned Picture Quote #1

If history, philosophy and so on vanish from academic life, what they leave in their wake may be a technical training facility or corporate research institute. But it will not be a university in the classical sense of the term, and it would be deceptive to call it one Picture Quote #1

People tend to view history as if it were another planet and think the modern world was invented in 1963. I don’t agree Picture Quote #1

Poetry carries its history within it, and it is oral in origin. Its transmission was oral Picture Quote #1

I don’t think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings Picture Quote #1

Putting together philosophy and children would have been difficult for most of history. But very fortunately for me, when I started graduate school there was a real scientific revolution taking place in developmental psychology 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

I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I’m so much more balanced than I was Picture Quote #1

Film is the manipulative medium par excellence. When you think back on the history of film and the 20th century, you see the propaganda that’s been made. So there are moral demands on the director to treat the spectators as seriously as he or she takes himself and not to see them merely as victims that can be manipulated to whatever ends they have Picture Quote #1

History is what we bring to it, not just the events themselves, but how we interpret those events Picture Quote #1

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross; but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. From a creative perspective, that is all that writing is about Picture Quote #1

History can show you that it was one pile of bad stuff after another. It can also show you that there’s been tremendous progress in knowledge, behaviour, laws, civilisation. It cannot show you that there was a meaning behind it Picture Quote #1

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I’m always looking for source material Picture Quote #1

I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects Picture Quote #1

I just want to make sure I’m contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous Picture Quote #1

The most frightening pages of history are those which reveal how easily conditions making a desert of the human spirit may come into existence, with the oozings away of incentive and kindliness in our natural social structure 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

History is always changing behind us, and the past changes a little every time we retell it Picture Quote #1
