History Quotes

I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet Picture Quote #1

All history is defined by shifting modes of reality and time and how things change. That’s what I love about cinema. It changes in the moment Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had a keen sense of history. My father was an antiques dealer and he used to bring home boxes full of treasures, and each item always had a tale attached Picture Quote #1

Each soil has had its own history. Like a river, a mountain, a forest, or any natural thing, its present condition is due to the influences of many things and events of the past Picture Quote #1

We torture and kill two billion sentient living beings every week. 10,000 entire species are wiped out every year because of the actions of one, and we are now facing the sixth mass extinction in cosmological history. If any other organism did this, a biologist would consider them a virus Picture Quote #1

No matter how good a public school teacher, he or she will always be required to teach the state’s values and the state’s perspective on subjects from sex to history and biology Picture Quote #1

You are not your mother, your father, your history, or your cultural influences. You are uniquely and originally you. Be bold and daring and fearless and unconventional. Be willing to use your voice in service to your soul. Go on. Rock that damn boat. The wave you create might just change the world Picture Quote #1

Life and study have persuaded me of the openness of history. There is no inevitability in history. Thinking about what might have happened, what could have happened, is a necessary element in trying to understand what did happen. And if, as I believe, individual acts of decency and courage make a difference, then they need to be recorded and remembered Picture Quote #1

Like an organism, photography was born whole. It is in our progressive discovery of it that its history lies Picture Quote #1

Far too often, when we think we are frightened by mystery, the fact is that we are haunted by history Picture Quote #1

You will be most readily cured of vanity or presumption by studying the history of music, and by hearing the master pieces which have been produced at different periods Picture Quote #1

We can learn from history, but we can also deceive ourselves when we selectively take evidence from the past to justify what we have already made up our minds to do Picture Quote #1

History should not be written to make the present generation feel good but to remind us that human affairs are complicated Picture Quote #1

Anthropologists say that in every culture in history, children have played the game hide and seek Picture Quote #1

Memoir is trustworthy and its truth assured when it seeks the relation of self to time, the piecing of the shards of personal experience into the starscape of history’s night. The materials of memoir are humble, fugitive, a cottage knitting industry seeking narrative truth across the crevasse of time as autobiography folds itself into the vast, fluid essay that is history. A single voice singing its aria in a corner of the crowded world Picture Quote #1

Angels, demons, sex. Heaven, hell, war. Blood and royalty, history and magic, fire and ice. And a story you cannot put down. This is fantasy at its best Picture Quote #1

I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember. We rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. How can one remember thirst? Picture Quote #1

When men die, they enter history. When statues die, they enter art. This botany of death is what we call culture Picture Quote #1

Names are very important for humans, aren’t they? How do I translate for you the name of this town as it seems to me, the true name that tells of its history and people and lands and weather and... everything? Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about going down in history as a great bull rider or bronc rider. I hope people will remember me as a great cowboy Picture Quote #1

The more I sought truth uncorrupted by years of religious history, the more I kept finding answers I didn’t want to find. Emotionally, it would have been easiest for me to just hold on to what I grew up believing, but mentally that wasn’t an option anymore Picture Quote #1

The history of your world is filled with the voice of the victor, the voice of power, although it was not always a voice of sanity, by any means Picture Quote #1

History is contemporary. Your understanding of history confirms what you think of the present. It’s not neutral. I would be very surprised if people with a different view of the present, don’t take issue with my view of the past. I just hope that people deal with the content of the film Picture Quote #1

The history of missions is the history of answered prayer. It is the key to the whole mission problem. All human means are secondary Picture Quote #1

It has never happened in history that a nation that has won a war has been held accountable for atrocities committed in preparing for and waging that war. We intend to make this one different. What took place was the use of technological material to destroy a defenseless country. From 125,000 to 300,000 people were killed... We recognize our role in history is to bring the transgressors to justice Picture Quote #1

Your resolve is unquestionable. Your character undeniable. Your history unparalleled. You’ve inspired us, all the way. You will again today Picture Quote #1

Throughout chess history, great debates have raged about the pros and cons of hanging pawns. The debates are nonsense; the answer is cut and dried. If the pawns can be attacked and forced to move forward, they are weak. If they can be defended and remain where they are, they are strong Picture Quote #1

That is the supreme value of history. The study of it is the best guarantee against repeating it Picture Quote #1

The history of this paper suggests that highly speculative investigations, especially by an unknown author, are best brought before the world through some other channel than a scientific society, which naturally hesitates to admit into its printed records matters of uncertain value. Perhaps one may go further and say that a young author who believes himself capable of great things would usually do well to secure the favourable recognition of the scientific world by work whose scope is limited and whose value is easily judged, before embarking upon higher flights Picture Quote #1

We want to explore. We’re curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore... We believe in what we’re doing. Now it’s time to go Picture Quote #1
