We’re telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think  (The History Of Quotes) Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom  (The History Of Quotes) In the history of the human race, those periods which later appeared as great have been the periods when the men and the women belonging to them had transcended the differences that divided them and had recognized in their membership in the human race a common bond  (The History Of Quotes) In the history of education, the most striking phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a ferment of genius, in a succeeding generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine  (The History Of Quotes) I went back and researched the history of gospel; where it came from, slavery times, communicating with each other without their master knowing what they are saying, and that gospel artists view themselves differently  (The History Of Quotes) Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It’s what you do with the medium  (The History Of Quotes) To investigate the history of man’s development, the most important finds are, of course, hominid fossils  (The History Of Quotes) Each age tries to form its own conception of the past. Each age writes the history of the past anew with reference to the conditions uppermost in its own time  (The History Of Quotes) Because of the fashion, the young people don’t have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can’t earn any money doing it  (The History Of Quotes) The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation  (The History Of Quotes) I came to realize that exaggerated concern about what others are doing can be foolish. It can paralyze effort, and stifle a good idea. One finds that in the history of science, almost every problem has been worked out by someone else. This should not discourage anyone from pursuing his own path  (The History Of Quotes) The fate of a single man can be rich with significance, that of a few hundred less so, but the history of thousands and millions of men does not mean anything at all, in any adequate sense of the word  (The History Of Quotes) The history of institutions is often a history of deception and illusions; for their virtue depends on the ideas that produce and on the spirit that preserves them, and the form may remain unaltered when the substance has passed away  (The History Of Quotes) I don’t think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings  (The History Of Quotes) Film is the manipulative medium par excellence. When you think back on the history of film and the 20th century, you see the propaganda that’s been made. So there are moral demands on the director to treat the spectators as seriously as he or she takes himself and not to see them merely as victims that can be manipulated to whatever ends they have  (The History Of Quotes) In places where a loved one has died, time stops for eternity.

But I felt I understood it now  (The History Of Quotes) Well, some people say I’m pessimistic because I recognize the eternal cycle of evil. All I say is, look at the history of mankind right up to this moment and what do you find?  (The History Of Quotes) I think it can be tremendously refreshing if a creator of literature has something on his mind other than the history of literature so far. Literature should not disappear up its own asshole, so to speak  (The History Of Quotes) Sleep was the greatest invention in the history of mankind. When I was sleeping, I wasn’t feeling guilty, or miserable, or sad  (The History Of Quotes) If there was ever a more perfect day in the history of time it isn’t one I’ve heard about  (The History Of Quotes) Universal access to human knowledge is in our grasp, for the first time in the history of the world. This is not a bad thing  (The History Of Quotes) Prowling the meanings of a word, prowling the history of a person, no use expecting a flood of light. Human words have no main switch. But all those little kidnaps in the dark. And then the luminous, big, shivering, discandied, unrepentant, barking web of them that hangs in your mind when you turn back to the page you were trying to translate  (The History Of Quotes)
