After 5,000 years of recorded human history, you wonder, what part of 2,000,000 sunrises doesn’t a pessimist understand?  (Human History Quotes) Much of human history can, I think, be described as a gradual and sometimes painful liberation from provincialism, the emerging awareness that there is more to the world than was generally believed by our ancestors  (Human History Quotes) War had always seemed to me to be a purely human behavior. Accounts of warlike behavior date back to the very first written records of human history; it seemed to be an almost universal characteristic of human groups  (Human History Quotes) Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history?  (Human History Quotes) After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history  (Human History Quotes) Americans believe with all their heart, the vast majority of them, and the vast majority of Floridians, that the United States of America is simply the single greatest nation in all of human history  (Human History Quotes) The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of skepticism with faith  (Human History Quotes) There is no authentic inner freedom that does not, sooner or later, also affect and change human history  (Human History Quotes) It would be wryly interesting if in human history the cultivation of marijuana led generally to the invention of agriculture, and thereby to civilization  (Human History Quotes) To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness  (Human History Quotes) We are at a crossroads in human history. Never before has there been a moment so simultaneously perilous and promising. We are the first species to have taken evolution into our own hands  (Human History Quotes) Since periods of great change, such as the present one, come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world  (Human History Quotes) How lucky we are to live in this time / the first moment in human history / when we are in fact visiting other worlds  (Human History Quotes) Our tools are better than we are, and grow better faster than we do. They suffice to crack the atom, to command the tides, but they do not suffice for the oldest task in human history, to live on a piece of land without spoiling it  (Human History Quotes) The feminist notion that the whole of human history has been nothing but a vast intricate conspiracy by men to enslave their wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters presents us with an intellectual neurosis for which we do not yet have a name  (Human History Quotes) Betting against gold is the same as betting on governments. He who bets on governments and government money bets against 6,000 years of recorded human history  (Human History Quotes) The supremacy of public opinion determines not only the singular role that economics occupies in the complex of thought and knowledge. It determines the whole process of human history  (Human History Quotes) Initially I was very encouraged. Unfortunately, the mainstream media now seems far more interested in what I said when I was 17 or what my girlfriend looks like rather than, say, the largest program of suspicionless surveillance in human history  (Human History Quotes) Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little  (Human History Quotes) Knowing how to deal with change effectively is a primary requirement for living successfully in perhaps the most exciting time in all of human history  (Human History Quotes) We are facing a tipping point of environmental crisis unprecedented in human history and our very survival is dependent on protecting nature  (Human History Quotes) Human history began with an act of disobedience and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience  (Human History Quotes) Everyone’s life is a page in the human history irrespective of the position he or she holds or the work he or she performs  (Human History Quotes) The central question is, is this guy right? Or is he mad? What do you, the reader, think about this? Which struck me as a properly anarchist solution. I didn’t want to tell people what to think, I just wanted to tell people to think and consider some of these admittedly extreme little elements, which nevertheless do recur fairly regularly throughout human history  (Human History Quotes) It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance  (Human History Quotes) For unnumbered centuries of human history the wilderness has given way. The priority of industry has become dogma. Are we as yet sufficiently enlightened to realize that we must now challenge that dogma, or do without our wilderness? Do we realize that industry, which has been our good servant, might make a poor master?  (Human History Quotes) One cannot avoid a certain feeling of disgust, when one observes the actions of man displayed on the great stage of the world. Wisdom is manifested by individuals here and there; but the web of human history as a whole appears to be woven from folly and childish vanity, often, too, from puerile wickedness and love of destruction: with the result that at the end one is puzzled to know what idea to form of our species which prides itself so much on its advantages  (Human History Quotes) I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow men  (Human History Quotes) One of the most pathetic aspects of human history is that every civilization expresses itself most pretentiously, compounds its partial and universal values most convincingly, and claims immortality for its finite existence at the very moment when the decay which leads to death has already begun  (Human History Quotes) Human history began as an act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience. At this point in history the capacity to doubt, to criticize and to disobey may be all that stands between a future for mankind and the end of civilization  (Human History Quotes)
