I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.
I had this feeling that, somehow, we ought to be teaching not just the history of particular nations or particular regions, but the history of humanity.
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.
One thing I've learned over these last 30 or 40 years is that people make history. There's no fait accompli to any of this.
History is with us until we learn from the suffering of the past.
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!
While we read history we make history.
It is only education and understanding of the past that teaches us not to repeat history.
No one ever really 'learns' from history, because choices never present themselves in exactly the same way, and because you can always choose similarities and differences to fit current needs.
History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.
