History is hard to gezegde

 History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of ''history'' it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time -- and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.

 I did terrible in history in school. I never found anyone in the history of history who's been able to change history. The stuff that happened last week happened last week. What happened last week is not important to me. It's seven days old. It's a total waste of time.

 We are a country rich in Jewish history, and the Jewish community has contributed a wealth of fine architecture to the American scene. Most of these synagogues are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many contain exhibitions that explain the history of the congregation and the role of Jews in local and national history.

 History is our interpretation of past thoughts that happened to be written down or otherwise preserved. We do not really study [historical] causes, but what people at the time thought were the causes. And our aim in retrieving their thoughts is not so much to explain how things happened as to understand how they seemed to have happened.

 History was not going to dictate our fate, but our effort can make history. Maybe it was a little bit of a stretch with Columbus, but they kind of enjoyed that analogy. I had to explain a lot of it. I kind of happened to lose some people.

 Korea and Japan are known to be the top two teams in Asia, and that's why we have a very strong rivalry for a long time, and it also goes back to our history and tradition. It stems from our parents' generation and us, and also I'm sure that our next generation probably will feel the same.

 The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.

 Ron was a part of the first wave [of history professors] hired around the time of the merger in the late 1960s and early 1970s There has been a lot of continuity over the years, and Ron was a part of that. It will not be much longer until the whole history department changes.

 It's the most important energy project in the history of Long Island because for the first time, Long Island will become part of the national energy grid, and for the first time, we'll be able to import power from the south, where it's a heck of a lot cheaper. It's important for the reliability of the system as well. When this is online two summers from now, it will have a significant impact on our customers' bills.

 We now have an opportunity for our generation to make our mark on human history. Our parents and grandparents took us to the Moon the first time. Now it's time for us to go back to the Moon to stay, and then head straight for Mars.

 I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we mak
  Henry Ford

 I know it didn't look good when it happened, but it's hard to say how long it's going to be. I feel for Rondell because he's had a history of injuries, and he's a great guy.

 Christian history looks glorious in retrospect; but it is made up of constant hard choices and unattractive tasks, accepted under the pressure of the Will of God
  Evelyn Underhill

 GM has a long history of poor performance and all of sudden they start doing well. Everyone is forced to ask, 'How much further is it going to go? He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. Is this a flash in the pan?'

 [He buries his account of that fateful day some 250 pages into the book, choosing to explain how the quake occurred, why it happened and, most appropriately, warn people of its coming inevitability. In other words, this is a geology book - not a social history.] If by writing a book like this I could increase awareness of geology and the reasons behind earthquakes and help preparedness, ... I'd be very happy.
