Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
    —Tacitus (c. 55–117)
