Quotations regarding 'History'

Choose a letter: 
So be it. God created profoundly fallible creatures on this earth, and human history is mostly the story of error and accident.
Michael Ledeen, American Writer (1941-  )
Violence is a part of America. I don't want to single out rap music. Let's be honest. America's the most violent country in the history of the world, that's just the way it is. We're all affected by it.
Spike Lee, American Director (1957-  )
The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
Vladimir Lenin, Russian Leader (1870-1924)
Sometimes - history needs a push.
Vladimir Lenin, Russian Leader (1870-1924)
The so-called lessons of history are for the most part the rationalizations of the victors. History is written by the survivors.
Max Lerner, American Journalist (1902-  )
History is the short trudge from Adam to atom.
Leonard L. Levinson, -
I think I'm the only actor in the history of film who got to slap Sam Jackson on the face and butt and lived to tell about it.
Eugene Levy, Canadian Actor (1946-  )
There has never been an unexpectedly short debugging period in the history of computers.
Steven Levy, American Journalist
He could have made it right with the book. But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.
Monica Lewinsky, American Celebrity (1973-  )
The United States, per capita, at a certain period in its history, had the most junkies of any country ever in the world - right after the Civil War. The most brutal war, the greatest amount of casualties that America's ever had.
Al Lewis, American Actor (1910-2006)
Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.
C. S. Lewis, British Author (1898-1963)
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
C. S. Lewis, British Author (1898-1963)
Only through acknowledgment of the erasure and void of Jewish life can the history of Berlin and Europe have a human future.
Daniel Libeskind, Polish Architect (1946-  )
To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
Daniel Libeskind, Polish Architect (1946-  )
This is an exciting time. I believe we stand at the edge of a new age - a Golden Age - of freedom that will rival any of the great eras of world history because it will be the entire world itself that is changing.
Joe Lieberman, American Politician (1942-  )
I also know that there have been many times in our history when the proximity of an election has induced exactly the kind of leadership and consensus-building that produce progress in our democracy.
Joe Lieberman, American Politician (1942-  )
In capitalist history, invasion and class struggle are not opposites, as the official legend would have us believe, but one is the means and the expression of the other.
Karl Liebknecht, German Politician (1871-1919)
You know, we have a long history of covering different periods of this band's development with a live record... a sort of live thing that would be done for three or four records, and that was the intention with this particular package.
Alex Lifeson, Canadian Musician (1953-  )
The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It's not change, and it's not hope.
Rush Limbaugh, American Entertainer (1951-  )
Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity. Now Obama is dismantling it, because he has no appreciation for our greatness. In fact, he resents it. He blames this country for whatever evils he sees around the world.
Rush Limbaugh, American Entertainer (1951-  )
