The history of the world is the story of people getting off track.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like history is about going and discovering the great human stories that just are every bit as relevant as anything that's going on today.
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.
History is the story of events, with praise or blame.
World history is tragic.
History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.
