Cut quarrels out of literature and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left.

More people are reading poetry now than at any time in the history of the human race.

For me poetry is a situation - a state of being a way of facing life and facing history.

I will try to work for greater reconciliation cooperation and peace in North East Asia based on correct perception of history.

Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history.

If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races nations or peoples there can be no peace.

I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than I should think at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words for good or ill can now so easily reach the millions.

One little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. Many people giving some of their time can make history.

Unfortunately our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.

In all her history from the formation of the federal government until the hour of secession no year stands out more prominently than the year 1858 as evidencing the national patriotism of Virginia.

In every society in human history including the United States those in power seek to imbue themselves with the attributes of religion and patriotism as a way of getting greater support for their policy and insulating themselves from any criticism.

Honestly I didn't have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense but I always liked the kind of big questions.

I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting which is a style of parenting that... basically the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.

I've always been homeschooled so doing it on set is kind of the same thing. My mom makes it very interactive - we'll get a book on chocolate and learn how to make it or she will buy antique items. I love military history the mechanics and strategy of it.

I heard the Beatles and the Stones and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.

For example I loved English and history at school. I would have loved to have done a degree in either. But my Mom said I didn't have time for university.

It has been suggested at various times that I should start an operation in the United Kingdom but - bearing in mind my age and medical history - I think this would be not a very sensible way to go forward.

If I'm pushed I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly that's all.

Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships.

I did this within a philosophical framework and a moral and legal framework. And I have been turned into a cartoon of the greatest villain in the history of lobbying.

We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee learn English and learn about American history and government.

The real violence is committed in the writing of history the records of the legal system the reporting of news through the manipulation of social contracts and the control of information.

History has shown us that on extraordinarily rare occasions it becomes necessary for the federal government to intervene on behalf of individuals whose 14th Amendment rights to legal due process and equal protection may be violated by a state.
