I'm not keen on history being tampered with... to any extent.

In many ways history is marked as 'before' and 'after' Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up and the walls of segregation came down.

I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

History is mostly guessing the rest is prejudice.

Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds as it amuses the fancy as it improves the understanding and as it strengthens virtue.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look 1940s I can look 1970s hippie-chic or sometimes I'll pull that '80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

The Establishment center... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster - a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.

The subject of history is the gradual realization of all that is practically necessary.
