History Quotes

History has shown us time and again that what is right is not what is popular Picture Quote #1

I believe that history is not made by cynics; it is made by realists who are not afraid to dream. Let us be these people Picture Quote #1

History teaches us to beware of the excitation of the liberated and the injustices that often accompany their righteous thirst for justice Picture Quote #1

History is life; he who has not lived, or has lived only enough to write a doctoral dissertation, is too inexperienced with life to write good history Picture Quote #1

The past is history; The future is a mystery; This moment is a gift; That is why this moment is called the present; Enjoy it Picture Quote #1

If we do not learn from history, we shall be compelled to relive it. True. But if we do not change the future, we shall be compelled to endure it. And that could be worse Picture Quote #1

You’re probably wasting time on things like eating and sleeping. Cease that, and read all of philosophy and all of literature. Also art. Plus politics and a few other things. The history of everything Picture Quote #1

I did not know that history is like a blood stain that keeps on showing on the wall no matter how many new owners take possession, no matter how many times we pint over it Picture Quote #1

To delve into history entails, besides the grievance of hard work, the danger that in the depths one may lose one’s scapegoats Picture Quote #1

The rejection of all abstract formalism. Materialism reminds every science of its real source: the world men transform. No science can, whether in its history or its object, grasp its own origins within itself or constitute itself as a closed world, exhaustively defined by internal rules. Materialism refers every science and every activity to the reality they depend on, even if this dependence is masked by a great many abstract mediations: mathematics as well as logic, aesthetics as well as ethics and politics Picture Quote #1

From this I conclude that the best education for the situations of actual life consists of the experience we acquire from the study of serious history. For it is history alone which without causing us harm enables us to judge what is the best course in any situation or circumstance Picture Quote #1

The particular aspect of history which both attracts and benefits its readers is the examination of causes and the capacity, which is the reward of this study, to decide in each case the best policy to follow. Now in all political situations we must understand that the principle factor which makes for success or failure is the form of a state’s constitution: it is from this source, as if from a fountainhead, that all designs and plans of action not only originate but reach their fulfillment Picture Quote #1

The sculptor, and the painter also, should be trained in these liberal arts: grammar, geometry, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, perspective, history, anatomy, theory of design, arithmetic Picture Quote #1

One has to understand what the enemy is all about: the enemy’s history, the enemy’s culture, the enemy’s aspirations. If you understand these well, you can perhaps move towards peace Picture Quote #1

Human history, like all great movements, was cyclical, and returned to the point of beginning. The idea of indefinite progress in a right line was a chimera of the imagination, with no analogue in nature. The parabola of a comet was perhaps a yet better illustration of the career of humanity. Tending upward and sunward from the aphelion of barbarism, the race attained the perihelion of civilization only to plunge downward once more to its nether goal in the regions of chaos Picture Quote #1

The philosophy of praxis does not aim at the peaceful resolution of existing contradictions in history and society, but is the very theory of these contradictions. It is not the instrument of government of the dominant groups in order to gain the consent and exercise hegemony over the subaltern classes. It is the expression of subaltern classes who want to educate themselves in the art of government and who have an interest in knowing all truths, even the unpleasant ones, and in avoiding the impossible deceptions of the upper class, and even more their own Picture Quote #1

Art is not ideology. It is completely impossible to explain art on the basis of the homological relation that it is supposed to maintain with the real of history. The aesthetic process decentres the specular relation with which ideology perpetuates its closed infinity. The aesthetic effect is certainly imaginary; but this imaginary is not the reflection of the real, since it is the real of this reflection Picture Quote #1

The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it, and carries it further back into remote antiquity Picture Quote #1

If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness Picture Quote #1

I don’t really write plots. I use history as the engine that drives everything Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win. Then you write history Picture Quote #1

Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. Thats history right there Picture Quote #1

Spiritual power is a force which history clearly teaches has been the greatest force in the development of men. Ye. we have been merely playing with it and never have really studied it as we have the physical forces. Some day people will learn that material things do not bring happiness, and are of little use in making people creative and powerful. Then the scientists of the world will turn their laboratories over to the study of spiritual forces which have hardly been scratched Picture Quote #1

There are two great classes of men: the people and the scholars, the men of science. For the former, nothing exists but that which directly leads to action. It is for the latter to see beyond. They are the free artists who create the future and its history, the conscious architects of the world Picture Quote #1

When women’s true history shall have been written, her part in the upbuilding of this nation will astound the world Picture Quote #1

The art of beautiful motion is far and away the oldest. Before man learned how to use any instruments at all, he moved the most perfect instrument of all, his body. He did this with such abandon that the cultural history of prehistoric and ancient man is, for the most part, nothing but the history of the dance Picture Quote #1

It is partly the absence of recorded history which sends women now to the lives of women past for the detailed documentation of their daily lives Picture Quote #1

At the heart of world time is the momentum of history. At the heart of personal time is the mystery and wonder of individuality. At the heart of deep, new time is the creative spirit. But at the heart of our time is love Picture Quote #1

For every person who can imagine a possibility there are tens of thousands who are stuck in the greased grooves of history Picture Quote #1

If all persons with any trace of homosexual history, or those who were predominantly homosexual, were eliminated from the population today, there is no reason for believing that the incidence of the homosexual in the next generation would be materially reduced. The homosexual has been a significant part of human sexual activity since the dawn of history, primarily because it is an expression of capacities that are basic in the human animal Picture Quote #1
