Text Quotes
I don’t want to disappoint too many people, but the number of interesting political, historical conversations we had, you could stick in your ear, it wasn’t that many. We talked about friends, family and of course girls  (Historical Quotes) Everyone now agrees that a physics lacking all connection with mathematics... would only be an historical amusement, fitter for entertaining the idle than for occupying the mind of a philosopher  (Historical Quotes) On the basis of my historical experience, I fully believe that mathematics of the 25th century will be as different from that of today as the latter is from that of the 16th century  (Historical Quotes) You can’t write the same book twice. Though I’ve been in historical musical situations, I can’t go back and do that again. And though I run into artistic crises, they keep my life interesting  (Historical Quotes) One of the many troubles of growing older is that it gets progressively harder to find a famous historical figure who hadn’t yet amounted to anything by the time he was your age  (Historical Quotes) It often happens that the mind of a person who is learning a new science has to pass through all the phases which the science itself has exhibited in its historical evolution  (Historical Quotes) Psychology must not only strive to become a useful basis for the other mental sciences, but it must also turn again and again to the historical sciences, in order to obtain an understanding for the more highly developed metal processes  (Historical Quotes) Forgetfulness, and I would even say historical error, are essential in the creation of a nation  (Historical Quotes) I am an optimist and I believe that together we shall be able now to make the right historical choice so as not to miss the great chance at the turn of centuries and millenia and make the current extremely difficult transition to a peaceful world order  (Historical Quotes) It is our misfortune, as a historical generation, to live through the largest expansion in expressive capability in human history, a misfortune because abundance breaks more things than scarcity  (Historical Quotes) I expressed skepticism, in the first chapter, about the utility of time machines in historical research. I especially advised against graduate students relying on them, because of the limited perspective you tend to get from being plunked down in some particular part of the past, and the danger of not getting back in time for your orals  (Historical Quotes) I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer  (Historical Quotes) Well, yes. I believe that children’s souls are the inheritors of historical memory from previous generations. It’s just that as they grow older and experience the everyday world that memory sinks lower and lower. I feel I need to make a film that reaches down to that level. If I could do that I would die happy  (Historical Quotes) A nation lives forever through its concepts, honour, and culture. It is for these reasons that the rulers of nations must judge and act not only on the basis of physical and material interests of the nation but on the basis of the nation’s historical honour, of the nation’s eternal interests. Thus: not bread at all costs, but honour at all costs  (Historical Quotes) The novel since its origins has been the privatization of history... the history of private life... and in that sense every novel is an historical novel  (Historical Quotes) The notion of dream interpretation far antedates the birth of psychoanalysis, and probably served an important function in most, if not all, historical societies. In having lost this function, modern man has also lost the best part of his nature, which he obliviously passes on to the next generation of dreamers  (Historical Quotes) A revolution that is based on the people exercising their creativity in the midst of devastation is one of the great historical contributions of humankind  (Historical Quotes) Nothing is more detestable to the physical anthropologist than... the wretched habit of cremating the dead. It involves not only a prodigal waste of costly fuel and excellent fertilizer, but also the complete destruction of physical historical data. On the other hand, the custom of embalming and mummification is most praiseworthy and highly to be recommended  (Historical Quotes) I have a bee in my bonnet as to how few black historical figures one sees on film; incredible stories, stories from which we are living the legacy and which just don’t get made  (Historical Quotes) The idea of a method that contains firm, unchanging, and absolutely binding principles for conducting the business of science meets considerable difficulty when confronted with the results of historical research. We find, then, that there is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or another  (Historical Quotes) I feel like it’s hard to get into historical novels where you know what the story is far too well  (Historical Quotes) A collection of masks, depicting historical figures in life and what I like to call the eternal repose  (Historical Quotes) The erasure itself became the action. It seemed to suggest a moment in terms of how sad or pessimistic you can feel in a political environment or a historical situation. But it felt like a really hopeful gesture in the painting  (Historical Quotes) Stocks are a safe bet, but only if you stay invested long enough to ride out the. that squares with the facts, and with the historical record  (Historical Quotes) Possibly the tragedy of the bicycle is that it was invented too close in time to the car. In the historical scheme, pedal power hardly got under way before the combustion engine appeared and, not only took over the roads, but changed our view of machines. We’ve forgotten that pedal power is a potent form of energy  (Historical Quotes) In early historical civilization, lunar symbols wove together three major metaphorical concepts. The first is the idea of fertility. The moon controls the tides of both water and blood – the sacred fluids of the early religions. The second is the concept of periodic rebirth, symbolized by the moon’s monthly waning and renewal. The third is the notion of continually repeating cycles of change  (Historical Quotes) I don’t look at myself as a historical icon, but the reality of it is, yeah, I am playing for history now  (Historical Quotes) I’ve always loved comic books. As a kid, I used to read cowboy stories and historical comics about other worlds, unknown places that would take me out of myself and which helped to develop my imagination  (Historical Quotes) An active propaganda machinery controlled bv the world’s largest corporations constantly reassures us that consumerism is the path to happiness, governmental restraint of market excess is the cause our distress, and economic globalization is both a historical inevitability and a boon to the human species  (Historical Quotes) I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes  (Historical Quotes)
