History Quotes

If you look at history, there seems to be a regular pattern: the country with the most powerful military also happens to be the one with the world trade currency. That gives them an enormous economic advantage, which causes goods to flow into their country Picture Quote #1

I see history as really cyclical in terms of the intense idealism, and the desire to create a better life outside of societal norms Picture Quote #1

We’ve got to know our history. We have to be able to bring our children to a place that they can be proud of Picture Quote #1

I’m a child of immigrants. That is the history of this country. Immigration is good and important for our country. Legal immigration needs to really be modernized Picture Quote #1

Covering a historic event is perfectly legitimate. It’s not sneaking into somebody’s boudoir... These people belong to history, and not to record that if you have the opportunity would be wrong Picture Quote #1

Since the middle of the 20th century, more has been learnt about the ocean than during all preceding human history; at the same time, more has been lost Picture Quote #1

We gotta control inflation, quit spending our money on everything. But this years tax increase, why it’s the biggest in history Picture Quote #1

The most successful families embrace and elevate their family history, particularly their failures, setbacks and other missteps Picture Quote #1

I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn’t go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct Picture Quote #1

I’m really looking forward to it, if you can imagine floating weightless, watching the world pour by through the big bay window of the space station playing a guitar; just a tremendous place to think about where we are in history Picture Quote #1

Governments that use violence to stop democratic development will not earn themselves respite forever. They will pay an increasingly high price for actions which they can no longer hide from the world with ease, and will find themselves on the wrong side of history Picture Quote #1

What you end up seeing when you look at history is that people who have been good at pushing the boundaries of possibility, and exploring those frontiers of good ideas and innovations, have rarely done it in moments of great inspiration. They don’t just have a brilliant breakthrough idea out of nowhere and leap ahead of everyone else Picture Quote #1

I excavate history. I look at lives buried under too much silence. Periods of time, like slavery, have to be revisited, reimagined, so we can move through them Picture Quote #1

History speaks to artists. It changes the artist’s thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images Picture Quote #1

If two or three hundred years from now an earthbound civilization is dying... and they look back at the opportunity that we have here at the close of the twentieth century to move out into space and they see that we didn’t do anything with it... I don’t want history to judge us on having blown this opportunity, and I think history will judge us on this more than on any other issue Picture Quote #1

All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight Picture Quote #1

There’s something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things Picture Quote #1

I have always said to young artists that scholastic training and the studying of art history are crucial to fully developing as an artist Picture Quote #1

A too often forgotten truth is that you can live through actual events of history and completely miss the underlying reality of what’s going. What history misses, the myth clearly expresses. The myth in the hands of a genius give us a clear picture of the inner import of life itself Picture Quote #1

...the original mixed ancestry of the Jews and their subsequent history of intermixture with every people among whom they have lived and continue to live Picture Quote #1

History provides a sense of where we’ve been and lessons that can be taken forward Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I would say that I’m specifically a history buff. I do find a lot of things fascinating, especially anything that’s bizarre or mysterious and unknown and we don’t have all the answers for Picture Quote #1

I find historical figures in general very tricky because you feel at times that you’re serving two masters. Not only the arc and wonderful writing that comes with the show, but also the history of a person’s life Picture Quote #1

I’ll go back and use something that disgusted me 15 years ago but that I had enough sense to think about. Some artists change dramatically. I see my work more like history being written Picture Quote #1
