Famous quotes containing the word historical:

    “We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects—making it possible ... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Historical! Must it be historical to catch your attention? Even though historicity, like notoriety, denotes nothing more than that something has occurred.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
