There’s never been a civilization, ever in history, that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity and traditional marriage, traditional child rearing, and has survived Picture Quote #1

The library will endure; it is the universe... We walk the corridors, searching the shelves and rearranging them, looking for lines of meaning amid leagues of cacophony and incoherence, reading the history of the past and of the future, collecting our thoughts and collecting the thoughts of others, and every so often glimpsing mirrors, in which we may recognize creatures of the information Picture Quote #1

Because of my personal history, my professional skills and my business achievements, I am a man nobody can expect to compare himself with Picture Quote #1

You can’t build a cathedral in a day. A look at the club’s history tells you these things take time Picture Quote #1

The only thing history teaches us, a wise man once said, is that history doesn’t teach us anything Picture Quote #1

Graphic designers should be literate in graphic design history. Being able to design well is not always enough. Knowing the roots of design is necessary to avoid reinvention, no less inadvertent plagiarism Picture Quote #1

It is said that the history of peoples who have a history is the history of class struggle. It might be said with at least as much truthfulness, that the history of peoples without history is a history of their struggle against the state Picture Quote #1

For a million years the sound of making handaxes provided the percussion of everyday life. Anyone choosing a hundred objects to tell a history of the world would have to include a handaxe Picture Quote #1

History... shows that even seemingly miraculous advances are in fact the result of many people taking small steps together over a long period of time Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in vernacular cultures, where people lived a little closer to the source of materials and the making of objects for use. And for me, not to rely strictly on the history of art has always been an interesting process, to be looking into areas that we call craft and trades Picture Quote #1

You made a point about proof. In this sort of history we do nt have proof... Yet... the incontrovertibility of the evidence can be plain even when it is not documentary or complete Picture Quote #1

For me, the value of a climb is the sum of three inseparable elements, all equally important: aesthetics, history, and ethics. Together they form the whole basis of my concept of alpinism. Some people see no more in climbing mountains than an escape from the harsh realities of modern times. This is not only uninformed but unfair. I don’t deny that there can be an element of escapism in mountaineering, but this should never overshadow its real essence, which is not escape but victory over your own human frailty Picture Quote #1

Smallpox was the worst disease in history. It killed more people than all the wars in history Picture Quote #1

The universe is not going to see someone like you again in the entire history of creation Picture Quote #1

One road to happiness is to cultivate curiosity about everything. Not only about people but about subjects, not only about the arts but about history and foreign customs. Not only about countries and cities, but about plants and animals. Not only about lichened rocks and curious markings on the bark of trees, but about stars and atoms. Not only about your friends but about that strange labyrinth we inhabit which we call ourselves. Then, if we do that, we will never suffer a moment’s boredom Picture Quote #1

It’s not rocket science. It’s social science – the science of understanding people’s needs and their unique relationship with art, literature, history, music, work, philosophy, community, technology and psychology. The act of design is structuring and creating that balance Picture Quote #1

Movies are arguably the most influential, important medium in the world. They have a tremendous cultural impact. Because women are now making movies, then women’s ideas, philosophy, point of view will seep into that culture. And that’s never happened in history. Ever, ever, ever. We can’t even see the impact of that yet Picture Quote #1

All history is just one man trying to take something away from another man, and usually it doesn’t really belong to either of them Picture Quote #1

It would be right to say that the helicopter’s role in saving lives represents one of the most glorious pages in the history of human flight Picture Quote #1

Today never feels like it will be history, but it will. And more likely than not, you will look back and realize that you should have known Picture Quote #1
