- India is a curious place that still preserves the past, religions, and its history. No matter how modern India becomes, it is still very much an old country.
- Anita Desai on History
- Inflation is bringing us true democracy. For the first time in history, luxuries and necessities are selling at the same price.
- Robert Orben on History
- Introspection and preserved writings give us far more insight into the ways of past humans than we have into the ways of past dinosaurs. For that reason, I'm optimistic that we can eventually arrive at convincing explanations for these broadest patterns of human history.
- Jared Diamond on History
- Irish fiction is full of secrets, guilty pasts, divided identities. It is no wonder that there is such a rich tradition of Gothic writing in a nation so haunted by history.
- Terry Eagleton on History
- Is there in all the history of human folly a greater fool than a clergymen in politics?
- Pat Robertson on History
- Isn't history ultimately the result of our fear of boredom?
- Emile M. Cioran on History

- Malcolm Forbes on History

- Camille Paglia on History
- It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
- Benito Mussolini on History
- It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
- Vladimir Lenin on History
- It is in Rousseau's writing above all that history begins to turn from upper-class honour to middle-class humanitarianism. Pity, sympathy and compassion lie at the centre of his moral vision. Values associated with the feminine begin to infiltrate social existence as a whole, rather than being confined to the domestic sphere.
- Terry Eagleton on History
- It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.
- Richard P. Feynman on History
- It is in the very nature of things human that every act that has once made its appearance and has been recorded in the history of mankind stays with mankind as a potentiality long after its actuality has become a thing of the past.
- Hannah Arendt on History
- It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
- Woodrow Wilson on History
- It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.
- Richard M. Nixon on History
- It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
- It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.
- Molly Ivins on History
- It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.
- Henry David Thoreau on History
- It is sometimes very hard to tell the difference between history and the smell of skunk.
- Rebecca West on History
- It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race.
- Neale Donald Walsch on History
- It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself.
- Gertrude Stein on History
- It seems disingenuous to ask a writer why she, or he, is writing about a violent subject when the world and history are filled with violence.
- Joyce Carol Oates on History
- It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.
- Henry James on History

- Henry A. Kissinger on History
- It was one of those great miracles of history that they managed to smuggle an Enigma machines out to Britain just before they were invaded by the Nazis.
- Michael Apted on History
- It would be incredibly presumptuous and self-serving of me to believe that Facebook was the end of history. The only way it could possibly be the end of history is if it becomes some sort of artificial super intelligence that takes over the world.
- Sean Parker on History
- It's a huge challenge, a huge responsibility. Bond is a huge iconic figure in movie history. These opportunities don't come along very often so I thought, 'Why not?'
- Daniel Craig on History
- It's a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful, and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior.
- Scarlett Johansson on History
- It's a struggle but that's why we exist, so that another generation of Lesbians of color will not have to invent themselves, or their history, all over again.
- Audre Lorde on History
- It's a very good historical book about history.
- Dan Quayle on History
- It's in the history books, the Holocaust. It's just a phrase. And the truth is it happened yesterday. It happened to my mother. I never met my grandmothers or my grandfathers. They were all wiped up in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany.
- Gene Simmons on History
- It's incredible to have been part of fashion history - my whole career has been one big highlight.
- Helena Christensen on History
- It's not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.
- Norman Mailer on History
- It's very attractive to people to be a victim. Instead of having to think out the whole situation, about history and your group and what you are doing... if you begin from the point of view of being a victim, you've got it half-made. I mean intellectually.
- V. S. Naipaul on History
- It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations.
