Can't disagree with the need for a grasp of history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History is one of those marvelous and necessary illusions we have to deal with. It's one of the ways of dealing with our world with impossible generalities which we couldn't live without.
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
The study of history requires investigation, imagination, empathy, and respect. Reverence just doesn't enter into it.
History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.
It is only education and understanding of the past that teaches us not to repeat history.
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
If people don't like the history, I'm sorry.
I think the materialist conception of history is valid.
History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
I think that America has an obsession with history, really.
