I need to keep my story count high. I'm trying to get as many stories in my hour as is humanly possible. We're telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think.

Who can doubt that between the English and the French, between the Scotch and the Irish, there are differences of character which have profoundly affected and still affect the course of history?
Goldwin Smith, Canadian Historian (1823-1910)
No student of history can fail to see the moral interest of the Middle Ages, any more than an artist can fail to see their aesthetic interest.

Robert Smithson, American Artist (1938-1973)
History is a facsimile of events held together by finally biographical information.

Unfortunately, our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.
Vic Snyder, American Politician (1947-  )
The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities.
Susan Sontag, American Author (1933-2004)
Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.
Susan Sontag, American Author (1933-2004)
My father was my main influence. He was a preacher, but he was also a history and political science teacher, and since he was my hero, I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.
David Soul, American Actor (1943-  )
Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.
Thomas Sowell, American Economist (1930-  )
Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.
Wole Soyinka, Dramatist (1934-  )
So don't get me wrong, I love my songs, and I still love hearing them. That's history, baby.
Ronnie Spector, American Musician (1943-  )
Nothing is insignificant in the history of a young community, and - above all - nothing seems impossible.

The history of Hillary Clinton as a five-year senator is to promote Hillary Clinton and not the needs of New Yorkers.
