My lifetime dream has been to assemble and preserve the history of the Hollywood film industry.
If we do not, as historians, write the history of great events as well as the small stories that make up the past, others will, and they will not necessarily do it well.
The 1960s was a heroic age in the history of the art of communication – the audacious movers and shakers of those times bear no resemblance to the cast of characters in ‘Mad Men.’

My work since the late ’80s specifically questioned what was presented as the ‘natural’ order of things in the history of post-war-N.Y. painting.
Automobiles have always been part of my life, and I’m sure they always will be. What is it about them that moves me? The sound of a great engine, the unity and uniqueness of an automobile’s engineering and coachwork, the history of the company and the car, and, of course, the sheer beauty of the thing.
Most of the greatest albums in the history of music are one producer. It’s just a fact. Or one collective.

The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveler.
It is unfortunate that so much of the history of Africa has been written by conquerors, foreigners, missionaries and adventurers. The Egyptians left the best record of their history written by local writers.
I was born in 1966, at the beginning of the Biafran-Nigerian Civil War, and the war ended after three years.

The history of Wall Street is inseparable from New York.
What we are oftentimes reminding people of is the fact that the history of police in the U.S. was that they were slave patrols. They were quite literally created in order to capture enslaved Africans.

I truly believe that the great heroes that create the history of architecture are people who take risks and write to tell about it.
I think Cristiano and Lionel Messi are two of the best players in the history of the game. Are they better than Pele or Diego Maradona? They are at the top, but I think it is difficult in football to say who is first or second or third.
The Champions League is the one thing missing from my career. When I look at the history of the competition and the people that have taken part, the top, top players have all won it. For many, it is why they have been regarded as top players.
I think whatever art form you’re in, whether TV, film or theater, you should know the history of who came before you and how the art form has changed or not changed and to learn from the greats.
I am not a physician, but I am deeply interested in diagnostic categories and have read extensively in the history of the subject.
The history of the last century shows, as we shall see later, that the advice given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally.
We have built a government so large and so expensive here in Washington that not even the richest economy in the history of mankind can afford it. That’s how big it’s gotten.

I really believed that if I could play that character, who is grounded in the earth and the history of the United States – not the kind of role I usually play – it would help me change the perception out there and my own perception of what I can accomplish as a performer.
No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
The truth we are teaching is that every contribution in the history of the planet came from blonde people. It’s not true, and it’s destructive, and people are getting killed long term as a result. People don’t believe that we deserve it.
If you look at the history of Manchester United, they are always a big side, so there is no time of underestimating them.
If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.
The history of American women is about the fight for freedom, but it’s less a war against oppressive men than a struggle to straighten out the perpetually mixed message about women’s role that was accepted by almost everybody of both genders.
When Trump lied and claimed credit for ‘the greatest economy in the history of our country,’ even though it wasn’t, and even though he inherited a strong economy, and goosed it up with trillions of dollars in debt, it didn’t matter to most people.
Our forefathers paved the way for us. Let’s take their values and their strengths and rededicate ourselves to doing whatever it takes to keep America the greatest country in the history of man.

The history of using mice to stand in for humans in medical experiments is replete with failures.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is the most dominant fighter in the history of MMA.
I went back and researched the history of gospel; where it came from, slavery times, communicating with each other without their master knowing what they are saying, and that gospel artists view themselves differently.
The history of England, who has always dealt most harshly with her vanquished foe in the few European wars in which she has taken part in modern times, gives us Germans an idea of the fate in store for us if defeated.
If you want to learn about the history of a people, eat their food and drink their beverages.
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
A poem I write is not just about me; it is about national identity, not just regional but national, the history of people in relation to other people. I reach for these outward stories to make sense of my own life, and how my story intersects with a larger public history.
We look to the history of the time of framing and to the intervening history of interpretation. But the ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time.
Well I teach in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. So that’s my primary work. I lecture on various campuses and in various communities across the country and other parts of the world.

If you look at the history of the American capital market, there’s probably no innovation more important than the idea of generally accepted accountancy principles.
As a writer of fiction who deals with technology, I necessarily deal with the history of technology and the history of technologically induced social change. I roam up and down it in a kind of special way because I roam down it into history, which is invariably itself a speculative affair.
I’m saying this as a Republican: In the White House, the effort that goes in and wherever these decisions are made, as to limit civilian casualties, is more probably than any in the history of the world, especially when you consider the history of warfare.
I think cars encapsulate the history of innovation and style – it’s the other side of the coin of the car being public enemy No.1.
If you look at the history of large financial institutions, most of them have succeeded because of a deep presence in their home market.
Gluttony might be innocuous were it not for the fact that gluttons tend to disregard whether their self-serving behaviors harm anyone else. We don’t need to look far and wide to find examples of gluttonous behavior, as they are numerous throughout the history of capitalism.
The thing is I think vaccines are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs that we have. I’m a big fan and a great fan of the history of the development of the smallpox vaccine, for example.
The cable package continues to be the greatest value in the history of entertainment. The average hour watched on cable television costs between 15 and 25 cents. For most people who cannot afford other kinds of entertainment, it is their entertainment.
I am convinced that the stratigraphic method will in the future enable archaeology to throw far more light on the history of American culture than it has done in the past.
