As I was re-reading over my notes I came across the James Joyce quote said in class, “History is a nightmare from which I’m trying to awake”. So I looked into it a little bit and found a few more quotes that went along with some of the themes we’ve discussed in class:
“History doesn't repeat itself - at best it sometimes rhymes”—Mark Twain
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death”—Robert Fulghum
“History is a set of lies agreed upon.”—Napoleon Bonaparte
“We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history.”
“What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past”—Victor Hugo
“History is fables agreed upon.”—Voltaire
“History repeats itself, has to, nobody listens”—Steve Turner
