You have to look at history as an evolution of society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I see history as really cyclical in terms of the intense idealism, and the desire to create a better life outside of societal norms.
I think... the history of civilization is an attempt to codify, classify and categorize aspects of human nature that hardly lend themselves to that process.
History is merciless. History doesn't care if we pound our society down a rat hole. It's up to us to make more intelligent choices about how we live!
I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passe abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
You have to believe that it's through politics that societies can lead social and economic and political change.
History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
History has repeated itself many times througout the ages.
There is no history of mankind, there are only many histories of all kinds of aspects of human life. And one of these is the history of political power. This is elevated into the history of the world.
