For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders.|Margaret Mead

Yeah   I read history. But it doesn’t make you nice. Hitler read history          too.|Joan Rivers

Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery       who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: ‘I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.’|Maya Angelou

The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece      but he cannot of course create it.|Karl Marx

The Gospel is not a theory; the Gospel is not a philosophy or an idea; the Gospel is not a way of thinking or feeling. The Gospel is an event in history.|John Piper

Animals are the main victims of history   and the treatment of domesticated animals in industrial farms is perhaps the worst crime in history.|Yuval Noah Harari

I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president – with the possible exceptions of Johnson       FDR   and Lincoln – just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history.

It’s important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now.

We should err on the side of caution and do something now.|Elon Musk

From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned.|Charles Sumner

The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster.|Ludwig von Mises

I have seen how effective language attached to policies that are mainstream and delivered by people who are passionate and effective can change the course of history.|Frank Luntz

I think the inflation prospects for the U.S. over the next five or six     seven years   are quite serious.

The Fed has had the largest increase in the monetary base in the history of the U.S.    from colonial times to the present           times ten.|Arthur Laffer

Growing up   I always saw the hypocrisy of the Catholic church. The history speaks for itself     and I grew incredibly frustrated and angry. I essentially just put that into my words.|Hozier

Art history is littered with work that involves light.|James Turrell

Our particular problem in America at this point in history is the widespread loss of the sense of individual significance        a loss which is sensed inwardly as impotence.|Rollo May

Although I often find that the feminist rhetoric – not feminism – can come across as simple-minded            self-regarding          nuance-averse and reductive – biology to physiology    history to psychology    procreation to gynecology and so on – I have come to realize that we should all be feminists.|Neri Oxman

The study of history and philosophy         accompanied by some acquaintance with art and literature            should be for lawyers and engineers as well as for those who study in arts faculties.|Terry Eagleton

I’ve never tried to be accepted. When everyone is doing one thing      I’ve always had the instinct to go the other way. I don’t understand how an individual with their own mind       their own values      and their own beliefs can be so willing to just follow what everybody else is doing. How can you make history doing what everybody else is doing?|Damon Dash

I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall sowing the seeds of their own destruction.|Martin Scorsese

But I think it’s more that when you’re young        you’re invincible     you’re immortal – or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless        you’re inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It’s fixed. You can’t change anything. I find that a bit disturbing       to be honest.|Damien Hirst

The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.|Jimmy Carter

History doesn’t turn on a dime; it turns on a plugged nickel.|Jeff Greenfield

History has proved that dictators can’t last forever.|Lee Hyeon-seo

I’ve always really     really wanted to go to Egypt and go inside some pyramids and just hang out there. I don’t know why.

Take everything you know. Take your whole selves. Be inclusive. Be open. Make history in the infinite ways that your heart takes you.|Megan Smith

I like stories in specific time periods. ‘The Revenant’s’ era of American history was fascinating because it was this lawless no-man’s land.

The history of all the great characters of the Bible is summed up in this one sentence: They acquainted themselves with God            and acquiesced His will in all things.|Richard Cecil

History offers no evidence for the proposition that the assignment of women to military combat jobs is the way to win wars improve combat readiness or promote national security.|Phyllis Schlafly

I honestly think anthropology is one of the most useful fields a fantasy writer can study     more so even than history.|Marie Brennan

Manchester’s history is cotton and wool. Birmingham’s is iron and steel.|Steven Knight

Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation  a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.|Octavio Paz

Conservatives are time-biders.
